My 04 Standard 5AT is approaching 90K. In its life it's had:

Wandering at speed (design fault - live with);
The front disk rotors replaced (warped - my cost);
Noisy steering when turning at parking speeds (which turned out to be split power steering high pressure hoses - warranty);
Blown aircon circuit breaker (which was due to ozone loving ants in the breaker - warranty);
Tramlining (which was fixed by fitting 205/50R17 tyres instead of 225/45R17 - my cost);
Broken centre console lid (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Warped and squeaky front disk brakes (not fixed yet - my cost eventually);
Three shock absorbers seized spontaneously at around 85K (four replaced - warranty); and
The paint has seen better days (wife now drives and parks my car - explains the dents too).

Wow.So many problems.i've got an 06 and it's rattle free despite having done 54K with stiffer and lowered springs and shocks.It's the best car i've owned in regards to warranty issues.

Is it a CU2 or CL9?
Can't believe CU2 has so much problems..

Rattling behind glovebox - fixed myself

can you tell me what the problem was and what it sounded like?
the build quality has been the only dissapointment for me. the amount of rattles and squeaks really gets to you

The rattle behind the dash was a loose plastic piece of trim to the right of the glovebox. There weren't any holes for clips so i put a little cloth tape on it and problem solved.

Yep. I found the build quality in mine to be terrible, especially the door trim rattles. I have had lots of new cars (Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota) and apart from the Aurion this one is the worst out of all of them.

Glovebox did not sit flush - replaced under warranty

I've seen this in 3 euros that i've been in. Its really annoying to look at! Anyway to fix it?

[The X Man]

The dealer replaced the whole lot. Nice and flush now.

damn. hoping for a DIY.

Rough idle upon cold start up. Car shakes quite a bit when put into gear after allowing the car to warm up for 1 minute. Idle then settles after a few minutes when the engine has warmed up. Not fixed. Have to leave car overnight at dealers and that's just not convenient at the moment.
