Leasing was not an option for many of us when we got ours. It literally didn’t exist.
Funny, because even to this day, leasing in Canada still isn't an option, only purchasing.

I don't think we can lease in MN either.

I have the same issue. Fortunately still under warranty currently at 59,000 miles. Front dampers need replacement. It's being at the service center for the past week. I was told dampers are on back order and it won't be until the first week of August or so before they can fix it.
Do the pre-warranty inspection for about $250. I did that just prior to 60K, they ended up replacing dampers and the whole front subframe to the Gen2 subframe at no cost. Highly, highly recommend Gen1 owners to do this!

Just had my front damper replace at 26k miles... Didnt do the sub-frame! Happy give them $250 periodically for deeper inspections as they even found build issues that I had just learned to live with.

However I'm pretty bummed with the results due the the difference in the new front dampers and the original rears!

Just feels bouncy again, like original updates level.

Kind of want to just pay to switch the rears to match the new generation warranty replacement.

Also even with a fresh alignment its pulling hard right despite the SV re balancing the wheels as a courtesy. Las Vegas service center went above and beyond so credit where credit is due...But the invoice of what it would cost did give me pause! Kind of has me thinking R2 just to escape the future headache!
