Puchase a 2011 MCS. Please Help~~~

hi all,
I'm new to this site and am hoping someone could help me with reading the service history. I'm looking at a 2011 MCS at the dealer. They showed me the service record. There're several claim lines.
1. Driving at constant speed under all operating conditions misfires/malfuntion @ 18k miles.
2.CBS/SIA indicator incorrect due to brake pad wear (DSC-instrument cluster)@35k miles.
3. Check chain tensioner leak @35k miles
4. Coolant Temp Sensor @35k miles
5.Chain tensioner, camshaft leaking @42k miles.

Has somebody had the same problems? How bad are these?

As for 3 and 4, I'm not sure if it means there were problems or are they just checkups?

And, for 5, they did it after they got the car and they didn't replace the tensioner, just replaced the piston, which cost $2 and $120 labor.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!
