(I had only put about 2K miles on it by that point.) I got a follow up call from the service department regarding my satisfaction with the oil change service (which is what the car had initially gone in for) and I told the woman I couldn't understand how this problem could have been missed. A couple hours later, she called to tell me the dealer would cover the repairs as a "courtesy".
The latest problem was a squeaking sound. Took it in (this time to a different dealership, closer to home) and the problem was worn bushings and ball joints, est. repair cost $1500. Now this is wear and tear and not covered under the extended warranty but I commented on the service guy's Panerai (and showed him mine). He told me he'd see what he could do for me since we are both "Panerai-wearing guys" (!). He found a way to connect the problem to the CPO and the whole deal cost me $50.
Needless to say, I will be returning to this dealership for any additional maintenance/service on the car.
