The question begs for an answer. In the last two years of production, what has been the biggest (time loss, repair cost, secondary damage) problem you have experienced with this car?

Poor Front-end Styling - Too much Accord-like. The rear-end styling is great, however.
The ES300 and the I-30 make a better job at visually differentiating their cars from their pedestrian siblings (Camry/Maxima).
An RL like front-end, with the current rear-end, would have been good styling in my books. Can't say that I am enamored with the re-designed front-end of the "new" TL/TL-s.
The car is excellent otherwise. Been driving it for a year.

Some bastard put dents in my car.
Rattling. when i open just the moonroof on tilt, and put up my music, it rattles very annoying. i will get it fixed.
my dog scratched my car. but very minor buffing will take it out.
i don't like the fact we have fake wood but i plan on upgrading.
i wish we had wider tires but i plan on upgrading anyway.
stronger brakes
thats it. i love the car besides this.

1. replaced window trims (front windshield, right rear door).
2. replaced center console (console would not close as the handle broke off)
3. lots of rattles.
The car does not feels as solid as compare to 3 series, C, and IS.

- Two flat tires (caused by the largest pothole I ever felt, and ?)
- One leaking tire
- Squeak in the moonroof, which I deal with by spraying the seal with silicon every few months.

Sheesh, are there any 99's to '02's that DON'T rattle? I swear when i go to get it fixed at the dealer, he better not pull that old line, "well i've never seen that before!"
For those with the moonroof rattling, did the dealer fix it right? or did it start back?
