The power window regulator failed early upon, within warranty. It was repaired by warranty. My power sunroof / moonroof has quit working, I have checked the fuses. I have always had a problem with the front brake rotors warping, part because of my fault I would assume and applying the brakes hard. Doesn\\'t help driving on highway 401 in toronto though. All in all, it has been a great car. I have 362,000 km on it now and she still drives like new.
