I have been following several KL forums for a few months now after deciding on a TH mid June.

The oil Life reading is simply a dealership miss when it was serviced (and you can reset it yourself).

The TPS error sounds like one sensor was stuffed - not uncommon in any vehicles but not one I have read much of on the KLs.

Engine MIL is also not very common on these either, though yours sounds like the oil pressure sensor is playing up and they are already on to it with a loan vehicle in the mean time.

Overall given the 60,000km I would say thats pretty uneventful! The main claim to fame (or notoriety) for these vehicles is either gearbox issues, which seemed to have been sorted mostly by late 2014, or vibrations from front half shafts. Neither of which seem to be plaguing you!

I only have a very uneventful 2500km on mine so far but from the problems you have mentioned I personally would not be overly concerned at this point.

I've had quite a few issues with mine but they have been mechanical. Transmission has been replaced twice and consistent oil leaks. It's been off-road for 5 weeks and is not yet a year old.
Latest stint is 3 weeks at the service shop and I genuinely hope all is fixed as I love the car. If not I'll be asking for a replacement vehicle. Also, I'll be swapping service centre going forward.

You should have reached over the counter & given a quick choking with his tie.
