Some niggling quality issues have dogged our feline: the rear hatch cover that wouldn't stay attached, the rear-hatch pulldown that kept coming off in our hands, the metal emergency key insert in the fob that wouldn't stay in place, and the air-conditioner's nasty habit of arbitrarily disengaging the cold-air delivery. It took about two weeks to get this air-conditioning situation resolved.
