Month	Year	Odometer (in miles)	Cost	Problem/Repair Description
Oct	2007	5000		First odometer entry
Nov	2007	6000	0	Right rear turn signal lamp had failed. Rattle in rear interior of vehicle - cargo area. Rattle/vibration in drivers door panel - caused by audio system low frequency sounds. Rattle in rear interior of vehicle - from cargo area. Rattle/vibration in drivers door panel - caused by audio system low frequency (bass) sounds.
Dec	2008	20000	0	Radio making buzzing noise after warm. Low coolant lamp on at times. Dealer installed updated cool surge tank hose kit per TSB.
Jan	2009	21000	0	Radio replaced for buzzing noise - was diagnosed on prior service visit.
Jun	2010	41000	0	Drivers seat had a creak noise in lower seat cushion/frame area.
Jul	2010	41000	0	Seat creak from lower seat frame. Dealer tightened seat pivot bolt, but noise still there. Seatbelt pivot squeaking. Attempted to lube, but noise is still there so a new seatbelt needed to be ordered.
Aug	2010	42500	0	FINALLY got creaking seat belt replaced after continually trying to lube something that needed to be replaced. Third time would have been a charm, however they forgot to put this part on while fixing the seat and had to go back 4th time! Creaking seat was finally fixed (third visit). Dealer refused to replace seat, but took out and lubed "something." Seems ok, but have totally lost faith in dealers ability to fix anything right the first time. They are horrible.
