Brake failure occurred with such little usage. The front and rear disc brakes were replaced. The brakes were extremely worn out prematurely which progressed to metal to metal contact. There was sever pulsation when the brakes were applied.

Cracked driver's side fog lense on 2002 TL (light still works). Dealer will only replace entire unit instead of lense at a cost of over $220 - ridiculous! other problems that have been fixed under warranty - cup holder lid would not operate correctly, bad shudder when applying brakes, loose sunroof.
