Glad this isn't my car, not even 30,000 and it needed struts and swaybar links, also had control arm bushings and numerous power window regulators and now the silver paint on the dash and the buttons on the radio are starting to peel along with the paint on the rocker panels...at least warranty covered some of it....
Update from Sep 24, 2010: August 2010 passenger side strut top needed to be replaced

Yeah, so struts are DEFINITELY not supposed to be leaking at this mileage!!!!!! The one side was leaking significantly, and the other side was leaking some. You should only replace struts in pairs, so they both had to be replaced. I don't know what kind of insanely low quality struts they used. And how convenient that they fail right outside of warranty. They are a very expensive part to replace. It is unacceptable at this mileage.
