CDI Problems

I have a 2006 CDI and have had various problems with the car. First problem happened at 59.9k miles, just before the 60k warranty expired. A cog or gear on the rear axle broke. It is a sensor for the traction control system. Dealer did not want to repair it under warranty as I brought the car in after the odometer tripped 60k. Two weeks of arguing and they covered it. The car has an extended warranty to 100k, but this device was not covered even though the ABS is covered and the ABS light came on. Next problem was the wiring harness for the driver side air bag. SRS warning lite came on. Received a letter 1 month ago on a recall notice and had this fixed. Next was the front right ball joint repair. In addition I had a GP go out at about 65k. Car has a rather soft front end also. This car should have had better front end springs. Both keys have cracks on all the buttons. Not really fond of the electric braking system either. Not really easy to change brake pads and rotors as on a standard hydraulic system. Back seat is rather low and cramped. Other than the above, the car does get good mileage.
