1. Servotronic pump
2.rack and pinion + Steering rack ( don't know if it's the same thing)
3.steering wheel because of a loose clip that hold's the airbag
4.they'll have to replace the right wiper blade arm, because it just wont stop chattering.
5.courtesy lights under mirror's module, it was defective.
6.Front control arms
7.Intrument cluster ( dead pixels)
8.driver's side loose weatherstrip


Plus now the battery, and the A/C not blowing some times even when the MAX button is pressed..

So.. I just dont know, now that the factory warranty is about to expire and the CPO warranty will only cover the Tranny and other stuff( tranny feels rough some times when downshifting... OHHH WELLL HAHAHA
I had the following done with two years of ownership as a second owner:

1.rack and pinion / Steering rack due to leak
2.Instrument cluster ( dead pixels)
3.driver's side worn weatherstrip
4.Rear cup holder replaced
5.Rear drivers side shade
6.Rear passenger side tri-angle shade
7.Front cup holder

I too have some slight tranny hesitation problems and need to schedule a visit. I have been happy with the service but most importantly the warranty coverage has allowed this to be replaced. I think the first owner (1 yr lease) beat my X a bit but it looks great cosmetically. I will be extending the warranty next month before it expires.

I feel that new X owners who may also experience some problems but major problems are less comon since they take better care of the vehicle over the long term. Other drivers may beat up on the X more since they know it's a lease return or trade in the future. Just my 2 cents......
