Default Re: Is my car the only one falling apart?

I'm dropping the vehicle off at the dealership on Monday, but I was curious:

1. Rear hatch will not open, lever doesn't seem to 'catch'.
2. Wind nosie through drivers side door. (I know that has been addressed here)
3. Water leaks around bottom of driver's side door.
4. Paint flaking off console. (I know that has been addressed here)
5. BAS/ESP light comes on at random times.
6. Padding on passengers door, above door when door is open, pulling away from body.
7. Car pulls to the left (or right) when braking.
8. Gas Cap will not stay closed.
9. Drivers side window will not always roll up / down.
10. Plastic around speaker in door falling down.
11. Rear support bar behind passengar door - plastic falling down.
12. While most of it is attributed to the problems above, this car rattles a LOT. Drives me insane, well, atleast more insane than I already am...

While I've seen some great reviews on the Crossfire here, and enjoy driving mine, this seems like a lot to be wrong with a single car at 25,000 miles. Is anyone else experiencing this multitude of problems?

Thanks,

David
Dave:
1. Hatch works fine, although it did rattle from new so the dealer fixed it. Ok now.
2. I do have some window noise in my coupe and will get it checked on my next lube apt.
3. No leaks on door.
4. No paint flaking. Must be faulty paint job on yours.
5. You know that the light will come on and flash when the tires want to break free reguardless whether you turn the system on or off. It just wants to notify you that it is working.
6. Door paddng OK so your dealer should be able to replace fasteners or something.
7. Car does not pull but a little lower air presure can do that if they are not equal.
8. Gas cap OK too, dealer adjustment.
9. Window switch sometimes needs a second push to work. No big deal to me.
10. Speaker plastic OK too, dealer adjustment.
11. Plastic OK.
12. I don't have a lot of rattles so you will have to ask your dealer to test drive and see if they can find them.
My mileage is 12klms. Good Luck!
