I didn't get mine until early December.
Of course, in the act of fixing the thing (as well as doing my 10,000 mile maintenance), they somehow managed to make my driver door window regulator go noisy, and now they have to fix it.
Maybe my parents were right - taking the car into the dealership is just an easy way to get something broken.
