When you buy a new car you shouldn't be having that many issues with it, even if they are covered by warranty...

I know the OP didn't buy his new but it's not that old either..
My '06 has 87,000 miles on it and the only problem I have had is a torn CV boot, which also turned into replacing the axle. Luckly it was all covered..

This is precisely why I will not by the first year of the new coupe coming out.
I want one in a bad way but willing to wait an see how it holds up, before buying one..

A wiring harness is a bunch of wires (with connectors on the ends) that are bundled together and wrapped up. In Ye Olde Days, there was a tape that was used. Now, the wrapping is usually a plastic tube, often heat-shrunk around the wires for a nice tight fit. Occasionally corrugated plastic "split loom" will be used instead.

So yeah, that's somewhat major. It's not nearly as major as something inside the engine, but it's definitely non-trivial.
