Glitchy '07

Hey all, I just got an '07 S back in october. Custom ordered it from the factory and everything. It worked perfectly for six weeks, then the hatchback stopped opening, the gas guage stopped guaging, and one (but not both) of my keyless entry keys stopped working remotely. Also, just for fun, the rear tow hitch cover and the driver's side blinker (the one with the S by the door) started coming loose.

Took it to the dealership and they said that some wires in the junction box were falsely grounded, had to replace the whole thing. They swapped out the faulty key and tightened down the side panel (rear tow hitch cover still dangles everythime i hit a speed bump). Anybody else see anything like this in their '07, or am i some kind of lucky winner?

What terrible luck! Hopefully nothing big is wrong (motor, transmission, etc)!

You're the unlucky winner, I suppose, but they surely can be remedied. I guess you got a Late-Friday-Night-And-The-Workers-Want-To-Go-Home car.
