Default Anyone having issues

Im just curious to see what things tend to break on the xA if anything. Have you guys run into any typical mechanical problems? Interior parts breaking, rattles or squeaks?
Post your replys with yea and mileage please.
Thanks

Silver trim on my driver's door rattles. Minor annoyance... I'll address it soon, as I'm going to pull off all the silver trim and paint it.

My glove box has a minor squeak to it, only when I've got alot of stuff in there... I just got a CD case tho, I had the glove box loaded with cd's in jewel cases earlier so now it will be fine.

So far, I found that the black plastic that is placed where the gap of the wheel and the metal part kind of slip out so I pushed it back in so no biggie.

The only issue I hate is how my car somehow attract bird ____ting...

^^lol
well, so far i myself am having pretty good luck with 24k.
...my only gripe is that it seems the rubber gasket on the cowl that touches the windshield gets very hard when its cold and vibrates against the glass making this real anoying "squeak" if you will.

28k miles and the only problems so far are the rubber trim at the windshield base wanted to come loose, some weatherstripping glue fixed that, the grille rattles, but that is an easy fix and I rubbed the silver paint off the drivers door panel where my knee rested. Covered them in leather.

The only problem I've had for the last 20K miles is every 300 miles I have to fill the tank up with gas. :D

I've got 2 small rattles that have popped up now that the weather is cooler. One is just the rear compartment cover over the spare wheel. Some padding in the right places will cure that easily.

Those of us with lowering springs and plus-size wheels/tires can't complain too much about the the occasional squeak or rattle, especially has it gets cold outside.

Other than that....nothing, nada, zero.

No issues yet other than the big smile that sometimes gets stuck on my face after driving for a while. As far as mileage look here:

idk if I'm hearing things or not but I keep hearing noises from the drivers rear door. Like maybe it's not closed all the way or something...I'm keeping a eye/ear on it and I'll see if it continues...
