Garage List
Mine was built May 2012 and initially was good, but this is the list of faults that have developed.

1. After about 6k the gearbox started making a slight whine in reverse. Also noticed a 'bump' when selecting Park. Gearbox replaced under warranty after 11.5k (2 days in the shop).
2. Rusty seat bases (to be fixed under warranty).
3. Traffic info used to display on satnav but for the past 4-5 months it rarely shows up at all, maybe one journey in ten now. Dealer puzzled.
4. Brake squeal. Dealer was supposed to have sorted it but the car still does it, though it's quieter now.
5. FEM replaced (although to be fair that was under customer improvement programme).
6. Variable performance of rear parking sensors.
7. Nearside mirror often doesn't reset after dipping in reverse.

On a positive note, I have VSS and standard suspension and don't have the steering vibration problem.

Also suffered a split front nearside wheelarch liner, no idea how it happened though. Also had a buckled nearside rear alloy caused by a pothole.
