I was fortunate things break when my vehicle is still on warranty+extended warranty.
Out of pocket repairs: Rear Ball joint (Passenger Side), Alternator, Door Carrier, B-Pillar Clip, Body Module (General Module), Hood Emblem, CV Boots, Misc Door Rubber Seals, Trunk Lid Grip, FSR, VCG, Power Steering Suction Hose, Power Steering Line to inter-cooler.

Well, the water pump was original until about two weeks ago! I did kick myself for not getting it replaced when I did the 240,000 mile service which included the belts and hoses. But there wasn't any indication of any problem until the telltale low coolant warning started appearing nine months later. It would have reduced the labor hours by 1/2.
