Yah I love it when I hear you guys say no problems with some honest miles on it. BUT, I still see a bunch of problems from many others. I know all to well as with Gray I how a bad build can exhaust the crap out you. So far with the second Dak not to much to report. They replaced my carpet since it had some defects from the factory. The tack center dialin the middle has a black mark in the silver paint and the fuel/temp pod outer bezel has blackmarks also. They are checking into a replacement cluster. It's the same old story "ship stuff with miss steps in QC" So it’s just been cosmetic stuff so far. Then again I only have 11,8k> on her.

Sitting on 19k or so right now, the big milestone for me was 10k since this is the first vehicle I've owned with under 100k miles on it when I got it

Almost 25K on the clock..

At about 12K the dealer replaced some gaskets in the transmission as it was leaking a little
At about 18-20K dealer reaplced the speed sensors when they took a crap
At about 22K the rotors were warped and I paid for that. I was out of town and the wife took it to the dealer.
For what they charged, I could have gotten some better aftermarket stuff...

Every once in a great while while I am stopped or almost stopped the engine sounds like it starts to miss and cough and dies, but it has only done that 3 times since I bought it.

You didn't have to rub it in

Forgot to add I've gotten 3 shocks out of the dealer so far under warranty

46k... no problems other than the 'standard'brake issue. Drive it like I stole it. If it hasn't broken yet, I don't think it's going to.
