Anybody with these problems?

I have a 08 mcsa. Bought it on Aug 31 2008. It has been in the dealer more than it has been driven. From window motors not working to the valves being gummed up twice to replacing the timing chain. Pleasanton mini in California has had this car more than i want them too! i want to fix her up but i am held back by the constant problems it has. 2 weeks ago it was in for the timing chain and now it is making an intermittent ticking noise when warm. also now a squealing noise when it takes turn...now not me mashing the corner... but light high pitch noise sounds like a front wheel bearing. Either this 91 octane is killing the motor or it was a lemon off the showroom floor. any body else have these problems?
