I had an awesome service advisor, too. I took mine in when I had the warranty, ended up getting 3 keyless go door handles replaced, the rear main seal, and even the engine mounts. In fact, the only thing that wasn't covered was the headlight ballast I took it in there for.

i have a list somewhere on here:

active headlight $1,200
about 5 door handles ~$300/ea
thrust bushings - I think ~$500
rear main seal ~$1,800
active sunshade (rear) <- $2,200 alone!
some kind of torque plate (cracked) ~$800

no SBS work done...

I can't remember all of it in 3 years
