Reporting in:  My 2001.5 has 67k miles and still runs well.

Prior to 2018, here are the only issues since the factory warranty expired:
1. center LCD became un-readable (sent for repair)
2. Auto dimming LCD in center rear view mirror and passenger mirror failed,
replaced the mirrors.

Since 2018 here are the issues that have cropped up including:
1. Hoses are starting to rot and become brittle.  Dont have a full
inventory yet, but i plan on getting in there to replace them.   The main
hose that i need to repair is one of the coolant hoses which became brittle
and failed leaking coolant everywhere.
2. Headliner fabric glue is failing, starting to droop in a few places.  I
suspect texas heat does not help.
3. Passenger rear seat belt has locked up and needs to be replaced.
4. Rear speakers buzz like crazy and need to be swapped.
