Faults:
The cup holder: It failed to function from the start, and they would not fix it or even offer a discount on the replacement.
The electronic power antenna: It started to fail at 28K, and I had them "fix it" at every service interval. It is a piece of junk and they never replaced or repaired it, they just cleaned it until the warranty was out.
The seat belts: They do not retract correctly, and that caused damage to the door panels.
The power windows: they have been adjusted at least 3 times, but sometimes they still go down on their own when they get to the top of the frame.
The luggage net: The clips holding the net biodegraded in under a year.
The luggage rack: The paint went away at only 35K miles. They repainted it, but...
The luggage rack: (again) It cannot hold more than 15 to 20 pounds; they said like one pair of skis or one snow board.
The battery: It failed at 33 K miles, and they replaced it, but...
The transmission: This car's transmission failed at 60K. Thank God I bought the extended warranty.
The driver side sun visor: The visor is useless, as it will not stay in place in the down position against the windshield. They want $250 bucks to fix it.
The front rotors: The dealer tried to charge me for new rotors only 10K miles after its first brake job. I got them to do the job for free, but they tried to steal 500 bucks from me.
The wiring is poor as the lights fail to come on all the time. If I smack the front left fender, the headlight will come on and work for a week then... try it again. The light that says the doors are opened also is bad, and the lighting fail light failed too.
The wind noise is very loud.
There are more items to list, but I am running out of time.

I haven't had any of these problems except a small oil leak starting around 70k.
