Do your homework on this one

Pros:
The styling is what drew me to this car, which I bought new. It truly is a great car to drive.
Cons:
Make sure you do your homework on this one with respect to service bulletins etc. My vehicle, within the first 18 months of owning it, had numerous transmission issues (including hard shifting), brake issues (which occurrs to this day with no resolution), the COMMAND center dropping out, stability control issues, mold smell from the compressor...and the list goes on. Some of the problems I mention are still occurring. The brake issue by far is the most annoying. I've complained about brake noise since 7K miles (car now has 54K miles on it). Nobody can figure out what this issue is as it only comes from the right front wheel (even when the brakes are new and the TSB has been satisfied).
Overall review:
Beautiful car; spotty reliability. I've talked to a bunch of owners who have experienced the issues I have except that they didn't realize some of these things were issues. I wanted to make sure it just wasn't me alone experiencing some of this stuff.
