Warranty expired at 18 months/36K: here's failure list

OK, my turn...

3 years old, ~29k miles, 400 miles/8 gal of gas, SWEET!

A tweeter speaker failed, Covered, .. FREE.
5 oil flters, my treat
17.5 qts of oil, my treat
lots of washes, waxes and love, my treat

I love my Gen II v5, although I do occasionally wish I had a 2011 Dodge Challenger, HEMI.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

 

Hahaha priceless

 

1. Honestly some of these are not even worth mentioning. For example the random acceleration 99.99999999999999% it was driver error. The brake problem is well known and unfortunately it is what it is.
   
   The rough start is a genuine problem but a rough start every 12k miles is noise (literally and figuratively), not worth worrying about most likely.
   
   12V battery failure is unfortunate. Did you leave something on?
   
   Driver seat thing, sure.
   
   Headlight bulb who cares really, although 3k on the replacement I bet it was just installed wrong and guy got grease on it.
   
   Hatch lifter is strange. I always lift it up. I'd never thought about it actually. Would never even occur to me to have it worked on.
   
   You broke the arm rest. Plastic breaks when overstressed.

 

I had a problem with my 04 pkg 6, traction battery would inexplicably discharge completely after a cold start, traded it because I got sick of Toyota dealers telling me "Oh, we only have one Prius tech and he only comes in 10-3 M-Th" and if we can't duplicate the problem you are making it up and there REALLY isn't a problem or something else ridiculous. I actually had a service MANAGER at Gullo Toyota in Conroe, TX tell me (and I quote) that "if [he] was a spoiled GD kid [he] would take an F'ing day off of school and bring the car in!"

 

Hahaha I am proud to say that I know what a Vauxhall Vectra is, though only because I love listening to Clarkson go on about them
