Mirage warranty repairs -- have you had any done? Or problem-free so far?

I'm pretty sure bulbs are actually covered under warranty. For how long I can't remember?

I have a 2014 ES manual I bought with low miles as a roll-back off dealer lot. No nav system upgrade, but does have fog lights and cruise control. I currently have 31,000+ miles and just had the 30k check up done. The car is running great, no problems. My car is entirely stock and nothing has yet been replaced (tires, brake pads, etc.) A list of what has been done, and things I've notices:
- I do oil changes at 3k religiously even though recommendation is every 5k. This is a tiny engine that runs at comparatively high rpm and I plan to hold on to the car for the long haul.
- I had two recall issues addressed at no cost: the wiring on driver side floor and the ECU update regarding valve knock during cold starts. I do notice slight valve knock immediately at start up for 1-2 seconds, before and after the ECU update. I've read this is due to engine design that does not prevent oil from draining down to oil pan after engine is turned off. So, it takes a second for oil to re-distribute. It has never sounded excessive.
- At 15k I had tires rotated which amplified the rear axle alignment issue. I had them rotated back. Issue is noticeable but minor and has not resulted in noticeable uneven tire wear. I have not attempted to request a warranty replacement of the axle.
- Early on the AC evaporator drain tube came loose and started leaking onto the passenger side floor mate. Easy fix with a zip tie.
- There is a slight rattle up front when driving on rough or dirt roads that has been there since I bought the car. Haven't been able to successfully diagnose yet but it isn't from a typical source like CV, suspension, strut, etc.

Over all the car has been solid with zero problems. I'm still averaging 45mpg with 50+mpg on long highway trips.

3k oil changes. WOW, talking about wasting money. The recommended is 7.5k, 5k if you drive in adverse conditions. This is not a 60s car with crap oil and high gaps in the engine. When I had my mirage, I only changed at 7.5k and drove 94k. Oil was clean and dealer hated me since they kept putting the oil time life to 5k so they can make money.

Where did you place the zip tie? Mine hasn't come loose yet but I wouldn't mind placing one, just in case.

Exactly. Your oil isn't even degraded at that point, huge waste of money.
