This car has had all of its scheduled maintenance performed at the dealership. During the first year that I owned the car, a) the cruise control stopped working and the cable from the cruise control power unit to the throttle body had to be replaced, and b) the carpet started balding in an area where there normally isn't any contact with my feet.
