All the issues with my GT speed over the years

Just wanted to share some info on my 16 GT speed in case someone was in the market for one

I bought it cpo in 2022 with 30k miles. Extended cpo twice so 5 years total coverage. It’s my daily driver. All of these repairs were done under warranty

1. 33k miles - Front Wheel bearings went bad after driving over rumble strips

2. 35k miles- trunk water leak- exit drains were clogged- cleared

3. 38k miles- clunking noise heard over bumps at low speeds- upper and lower control arms

4. 45k miles- forgot what yellow warning light came on but my steering spring clock sensor went out

5. 51k miles- car dropped on one side- strut bushing went out

6. 55k miles- front left shock clunking - replaced

7. 56k miles- front right shock clunking- replaced

8. 57k miles- vibration in highway speeds when turning- steering rack replaced

9. 58k miles- steering wheel stiff as a rock when turning for the first few minutes after start- steering module replaced in trunk

10. 60k miles- clucking over low speeds- lower control arms replaced again

11. 60k miles- dealership noticed valve cover gaskets leaking

I love the car but it’s been in the shop for a cumulative of 4 months while getting all these things replaced. Still wouldn’t give it up until I absolutely have to which is right before the warranty ends

If it's any consolation, that would be broadly similar to my experience running an '07 Arnage from a bit over 20k miles to near 50k miles....
