I have a small problem, kids with little di*ks keep trying to race me.
Other than that, i just had one headlight with an orange signal reflector, and one without. Problem resolved under warranty.

I have a LS as well and the only problem I've had is the power-steering motor acting up when I start it up for the 1st time and it's cold outside. I'm going to take it in this week to make sure nothing is truly wrong, as I don't need it to lock up on me while I'm on the road driving.

I'm pretty sure something is loose in my suspension, but I haven't got the time to go check it out yet.

Makes a rather disconcerting rattle when I hit a bump or something going slowly.

Peeling door panel leather from being cut too short from the factory, Flex pipe blew out from a possible clogged cat, shift pattern fell off, very edge of trunk was not painted from factory, strips on top of car sealing seam of roog came loose and I have to bring it in because the hoses for the bypass are cracking and all the other hoses are fine.

All of this was replaced under warranty and did not make the car undriveable just really loud when the downpipe went. Also went into limp mode 1.5 years ago when I dropped it into second wich seems to have happened to a few people and and a crank position sensor failure code come up but it will go away in a few days if it doesnt happen again..
