None....(modified response) Except for the dieseling sound upon startup when cold. Also the L/F power seat sissors cut into the seatbelt wiring wiring under the seat the one that would put the idiot light on when you didn't have the seat belt on even when you did). I spliced the harness wiring back together and has been trouble free since.

No major problems yet. I had to bring it in for a griding noise in the tranny when going into reverse. Since I have done what the dealer said to do, I have had no problems. He told me that I had to go into reverse slowly and not bang it into it fast. He stated that the sensors have to have time to react and that even though the computer knows what you want to do, that the sensors are not as fast to react as the computer is. All I know, is that it only happened twice to me, and both times I did bang it quick into reverse.
