Wow, those are not minor problems! I would have been very disappointed given all that trouble. Not relying on the computer for accurate MPG readings was a good thing to mention. The display is a good indicator, but mine averages about 5% low compared to manual calculations at fill-up.
It took a few years for the seams at the top of my back seats to split. Seems like that has happened to just about all of them by now.

Pretty rare for them not to have split unless heavy tint or covered all of its life.
2006 Red/Red/M6/18s w/ 15,000 miles coming my way next weekend! Going to be the longest week ever but can't wait!

Yea my rear seats split after it was out of warranty. In fact I just got an estimate last week $450 a side !! Bet I could buy new factory covers for that. But heck my 97 truck leatehr seats have no seam problems and it's been in the sun it's whole life.
Radio buttons I love being lazy and using but every now and then will go weird.
I did just notice when I washed mine last week the clear above the driver's door starting to fog. The pain is real soft those Aussies must use water base lacquer!
You know my 97 Chevy truck and my wife's 02 Avalanche have had more issues.

Most of the upholster guys say the leather shrunk and is too hard also. It is pretty darn hard.

My seats were hard as a rock where they split. Tint should keep my new set alive for a while (I hope).
