Known Problems
Seems many owners suffer squeaky window rubber. ECU failures on early petrol models. Many steering rack failures on recent cars under warranty. Power steering fluid level should be checked regularly, as steering rack may leak fluid out of end seal and into track-rod end gaiter. Doors may make squeaking noises. Random single reports of a/c compressor failure and loose bits in the engine compartment causing problems.
