It was damage from Hurricane Ike. Insurance fixed it and FEMA paid my deductable.

All of the shingles on my apartment complex blew off during Ike and it acted like sand paper on my paint when the shingles hit it.

Ahh, I do remember you posting about this a while back. Your first post just sounded like you just painted it because you didn't like the paint.

2008 3door Lb, Meteorite Metallic, 9,130 miles.... it came with factory installed cruise control which I don't use because it pulses the gas instead of locking at one speed. The dealership won't fix it because they claim they can't "duplicate the problem" and everything is fine. Anybody else that rides in my car notices without me saying anything, but the dealership says it's ok. Brought it in many times and can't get anything done. Besides that I love my car.

No Issue's Yet Except A Loose Piece Under The Passenger Door Kick Plate. The folks at the dealership just ordered me a new one it gets installed Wednesday they say it may have happened during shipping.

Also somthing loose in the rear driverside wheel well. looks to be plastic the dealership said it was just a cover for somthing and a clip may have come off.

For driving this car in Northern Ontario Canada. She's been stuck twice and towed out twice. although we have had horrible weather Tons of snow freezing rain and she's back road driven alot. She plows through anything

Squeeky shifter, going into first and second gear, the dealer sprayed lube on the pivot under the hood, where you would put your short shifter. Every once in a while when a passenger closes that door my door mirror comes in. Thats it.

No problems except the tires are showing alot of wear for 20K but from other post that seems common.

Other than that the car is great. It hauls a 4yo and an 8yo boy in the back so it must be tough !
