Currently I have no issues (knock on wood) with my BS @ 500 miles... but thought i'd add to the list here if it can help anyone

- Day one 23 miles from dealer all the idiot lights start going off, it was late and w e were 3 mils from home so just came home and called the dealer the next day.

- Dealer stated that it was probably still in "tow mode" (or whatever its called when they haul the vehicles on truck to dealer). I checked and it wasnt.

- drove another 10 or so miles and dashboard lights up again, repeat for 3 more days... I tried updating software, disconnecting battery, etc...

- lights would go out when car was shut off and it didnt cause any drivability issues... but annoying on a brand new vehicle for sure.

- Day 5 called dealer back to "come get this thing".. they did

- 3 days later dealer calls to ask "did you take it off road?".... HA HA HA !!! (it had only seen pavement at that point)... needless to say I was a bit put off by such a stupid question that was clearly meant to point blame and advised them of that

- next day delaer calls to say that they found a bad ABS/Speed Sensor and car was ready "fixed"

- They returned it later that day

- its been a week now and added about 400 more miles and so far, so good.

+1 for bad wheel sensor.
