So, last summer I took a poll to see if anyone would be interested in a longevity post that would be continually updated and the feedback was positive. I drive A LOT so I figured I would be a guinea pig and post my maintenance/issues as the miles build. This past week marks the one year mark since I purchased my 2018 so I figured this was a good time to start.
I purchased new on March 8, 2018 and it had 28 miles on it when I drove off the lot. As of the end of the day on March 8, 2019 it had 50,865 miles on it. I am covered by 5 years/Unlimited miles MaxCare that I purchased for $1795 from Zeigler.
Maintenance and issues to date are...
-7 oil changes
-6 tire rotations
-1 cabin air filter and 1 engine air filter.
-New tires will come within 5-10 thousand more miles.
-#6 parking sensor (right front) was bad right off the lot. Took almost 2 months for the dealer to get the part and get it painted.
-My suspension is very clunky, sounds like shock mounts are bad but I have not had it checked out yet. Other than that I have had no issues to date with the air suspension.
-I have a weird issue where on startup the whole vehicle will shake and it makes a banging noise. It is very hard to explain, but again have not had the issue checked yet.
-My drivers seat makes a popping noise when my weight shifts in the seat. For example, coming to a stop and then accelerating again.
Over all it has been a good experience so far. It is a really comfortable ride to spend so much time in. I will keep this post updated in real time as issues arise and I have them taken care of.
Here are some pics I took while traveling this past week. It is a real pain to keep clean when you drive so much.
