Check engine light came on. That was 9/24/14. The check engine light has been through a myriad of "fixes".

Parking sensors go off with nothing in front, when wet. There was a star class on this. They exchanged the sensors left to right. The issue followed the sensors. Dealer wants to have the vehicle when the issue occurs, as they can not replicate in shop. When it happens, i can't get to shop. Has been in shop multiple times. Now vehicle is out of regular warranty, but still issue has not been resolved.
