Brandon002 is on a distinguished road
I got mine in October of this year.

Valve cover gaskets
Trans was slamming from a rolling stop, trans service fixed this
Oil pan gasket
brakes at all four corners
CCV's
Fuel filter
Alternator bracket is leaking, not bad, but will be repaired when it gets warmer
Tail light problem, fixed free
Needs thrust arm bushings
Pano roof problems, just disabled the rear portion
Cold start/intermediate lever problems
Spark plugs (was misfiring at low RPM's when warmed up)
Self level suspension needs calibrating

But you know what, I wouldn't give this car up for anything. I absolutely love everything about it, even it's quirks and problems.

I could understand an owner getting frustrated if they can't do major repairs without a mechanic or can't afford to keep up with it. Luckily I have been a mechanic for just over 17 years so most repairs I can do on my own.

Sell it, buy another SUV and we will see you a few months later when you realize that no other SUV on the road compares when it comes to driving pleasure.
