| Jun 201155000 miUS $700 | Starter motor Bendix drive failed to disengage completely for several seconds after starting, causing noise. Potential to get worse and never disengage over time. Had to replace starter. | ||
| Nov 201162000 miUS $370 | Clunking in front suspension when going over bumps. Dealer says this is wear of tie rod after hard cornering. Replaced right side tie rod (only). | ||
| May 201269000 miUS $700 | Clinking noise when going over bumps. Previous repair by dealer (replace right tie rod) in Nov '11 did not make a difference. Independent shop replaced sway bar bushings and drop links: symptom now fully cured. | ||
| Feb 201380800 miUS $950 | One or more ignition coils failed - rough running and Check Engine warning. Dealer claims this is a normal wear item. All six ignition coils replaced. | ||
| Apr 201382500 miUS $2300 | Parking brake seemed to be partly engaged even though no warning light or odd handle position. Squealing and (eventually) clunking. Excessive wear wore down drum/rotor. $900 for parking brake, $1200 for required rear brake job. | ||
| Jul 201497500 miUS $1200 | Replaced condenser. This is the second time is seems to have been punctured by road debris Passenger down auto-up did not work, which means the window stayed open after raising the convertible top. AM radio weak reception: suspect loose antenna or antenna amplifier. Dealer did a partial diagnosis but recommended not proceeding due to cost. Dealer also opined that maybe the radio was fine (owner does not agree). Squealing sound on left turns - not related to brakes. Dealer partially disassembled system, recommended against repair due to cost of further disassembly. | ||
| Jan 201594300 miUS $18 | Driver door interior handle part snapped inside door: handle would not retract, and window stayed partially down. Replaced inside door handle assembly. Had to use part of old assembly since cable attachment had changed (same part number!) | ||

| Jul 2017130000 miUS $140 | Right front fog light was retaining water splash. Replaced. | ||
| Sep 2017133000 miUS $1700 | Replace clutch kit (Disc, pressure plate, springs, lever, etc). Not sure what actually failed: the clutch wouldn't disengage unless the pedal was depressed all the way to the floor, and I feared it would stop disengaging altogether. Clutch wear was within a reasonable period (90,000 miles) so I just attribute it to normal wear. | ||
| Apr 2018139000 miUS $2300 | Seal at timing chain worn, leaking oil. replaced seal Starter motor Bendix drive failed to disengage after starting, causing noise. Had to replace starter. Starter was previously replaced for same problem 84,000 miles / 7 years ago. | ||
