Warranty finished

Warranty finished
I now have had the car for four years.
Got the following fixed under warranty.
1) New Start/Stop switch (old one was gummy)
2) Rattle at start up - replaced the exhaust muffler with silencers
3) Drivers door wouldn't unlock from inside - door cable had come out of place
4) Oil leak dripping - removed exhaust, drive shaft, replaced the diff pinion seal and refilled.
Glad It was covered, but just wonder what the next coupla years will be like.

Similar, going for 6th year service soon (plugs, brake flush, air filters, etc). Will replace the Start button, but am just living with other sticky items.

Mine runs out on Memorial Day.
I’ve only had it a year, but I’ve had a few things looked at, in addition to scheduled servicing:
1) New headlights after water spots appeared inside the globes.
2) TSB: JTB00432NAS5 performed (fix for buzzing/rattling door panels when the stereo is up)
3) TSB: JTB00502NAS3 performed (fix for vertical scratches on door glass. In my case only the driver side glass was replaced as passenger side is scratch free)
4) Replaced all steering wheel trim and switchpacks (sticky). Vertical door sill panels re-fitted to eliminate unsightly gaps at the rear bulkhead. Scuffed door sills and scratched center console trim also replaced, but at my cost. As a result the interior is now as-new and nothing is tacky feeling.
5) Primary key fob backing was peeling off so they rebuilt it for me at no cost. Have two new keys now, as the spare exhibits very light use.
I had an oil analysis done to get an idea of internal wear and all looked good. I plan to have one performed at every change going forward to try and keep an eye on things. Mechanically the car has been outstanding. It’s currently at 23K miles and I’ve decided I’ll take my chances that continues vs. going with an aftermarket warranty. I don’t think I drive it that hard anyway.
