| 24000 mi | Engine warning light came on during long out trip out of town, car ran very poorly, pinging heavily and struggling up grades/during acceleration. Faulty knock sensor. None in stock, so reflash as stopgap. |

| 11700 mi | I started getting a pinging/detonation sound. Brought it to the dealer - they tested everything with the computer. They could not find anything wrong. They said the gas might be bad, but I have gone through 4 different tanks. |

For the last 10K miles, engine began to "knock". Brought it into dealer who diagnosed it as a bad "idler pulley". Replaced and repair completely resolved issue. Believe this is a *common* issue with this car @ this mileage. |
