I'm coming up on one year of ownership of my '11 9-5 Turbo4 Premium m/t with Nav. I have 20,700 miles on it.
Here are the problems.
• Nav/Radio - turned itself off since new. Dead at ~20,000 miles.
• Parking brake malfunctioned - since ~5k miles. Completely dead since ~18k miles.
• Pwr right-hand side mirror - won't go all the way down since ~10k miles.
• Sunroof - won't close all the way. Seals enough, though. Sunshade won't go all the way because it thinks the sunroof is still open until I jimmy the sunroof the rest of the way closed. I didn't want a sunroof, but it's standard on the Premium. At least the m/t was an optional ''downgrade.''
• Engine - can't get full boost until after five minutes of driving, then turning the engine off then back on.
Dealership is courteous, but I get the feeling they wish I would go away. It's all friendly and I pay cash.
Parts take forever to find - I bought a key fob and a key blank. It took a week. Parking brake module is different than LaCrosse's module. Takes ''four weeks'' I'm told. I'm on my first week of waiting. Parts guy told me a headlight (for another customer) takes forever.
That's about it.
I knew what I was getting into when I got 40% off list.
It's the price you pay for exclusivity like the guy from Boston said - it's the same problem in Houston. I couldn't be more exclusive in a Maserati or you name it!
The real question is: WHAT ELSE COULD YOU BUY for that exclusivity?! I take clients out in my car - it needs elegance. I drive 80-120 miles per day - it needs long, long, range (a big tank or high fuel economy or both). I'm a car guy - it needs to have good/respectable power.
I would like to know the answer.
