let's see if we can get an accurate idea...

Since there seems to be a significant amount of multiple posts on '05 related issues // which seem to be concerning allot of owners & potential buyers I thought it would be interesting to conduct a poll on problems so that we can get a decent idea how severe the issues really are. I searched to see if this has already been attempted & didn't come across any previous posts. Forgive me if it's already been done. B)

Mechanically no problems whatsoever. Paint wise it had a couple of bubbles, one of which was open and I hit it with touchup immediately. There was also a "smudge" on the gas cap lid. Interior was perfect. Smudge will be fixed by dealer in spring.

3 problems now. Squeaky brakes, easy fix. A bulge from the airbag cover on the dash, I expect it to be smooth. And I just found a slight imperfection in the paint, like a metal particle got caught under the paint causing it to stick up a little, on the rear deck lid. All are relatively minor, and in my opinion do not reflect negatively on the vehicle. It's still a great car.

How do you lump paint imperfections (a generally cosmetic flaw) with structural problems (much more serious I would think)?

My only problem is the slight whine I hear from the differencial that I hear a lot of people also noticing on their '05s. Not a big deal and doesnt effect performance but it can get a little annoying.

It would be a long poll if it covered everything. This will at least give people an idea of how many are having trouble, and if people post their issues, how bad the trouble is.

I've had the same gear whine that others have mentioned, though it is more of an annoyance than anything.
I voted for "other", because I have two clicking and rattling sounds in my dash. One is within the guage cluster, and the other is somewhere behind the two middle A/C vents. Of course when I brought the car to the dealer to have them look into the problem, they were non-existant. So, next time the rattles express themselves, I'll stop by the dealer and take a service tech for a test drive, so he/she can hear them firsthand. Unwanted interior noises really bother me.
Those are the only problems. It is still a great car, and I'm having a great time with it.

double 05 Red -- I knew it wouldn't have been perfect -- pretty stressed here at work when I though of the idea. I was hoping that the "other" category would cover what I missed. U know... I know not all of us read through all of the previous posts -- but I usually do. I figured at least this way if people explained their problem we could get a general idea of what the "other" problems consisted of and what the frequency level might be.

My passenger side airbag "off" light comes on even though there is a passenger in the car. Gonna have to take that in and have it fixed.

If the passenger is light weight (I believe under 75 lbs) then the "off" light will turn on.
