"I believe my comments just did the talking"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Daytime running lights burned out 2 weeks ago.

Front driver-side strut completely out.

Front wheels/steering vibrates when you step on the brakes over 50MPH.

Silver paint on interior trims starting to fade/peel off.. this includes buttons on CD player also.

Cruise control (resume/set) stopped working 2 weeks ago.

Car seats are almost impossible to keep clean.

Overheated for first week, but now OK after changing coolant.

General comments?

I use MOBIL 1 (synthetic engine oil) and the engine runs superb.

Excellent acceleration. Though the suspension needs more dampening to reduce noise.

Cheap interior.

Lots of interior space.

I'm sorry about your experiences, BUT you did buy a first-year model. Regardless of manufacturer, I would advise avoiding first years because of the tendency for glitches that will be worked out in years later. I have a 2007 Equinox that has had absolutely NO problems.
