damn plastics inside, rattling plastic panels in the rear cabin over bumps, eating of pads and rotors, wind noise while going 60+, little electronic quirks that seem to come and go...other than that, it's german engineering (awsome engine, smooooth tranny and good ride/handling for a SUV) and not german esthetics (sp?) & build.

Was the steering wheel cranked to one side? Insert key, relieve tension on wheel and I bet the key turns easily.
