I just turned 32k miles and this week I had to replace the tires (18's) which ended up costing me around $1k, new rear brakes, and $925 for a new windshield.

Are you still in the four year warranty window? I have about two months left on my 2011. Tires and windshield I would assume are not covered, but brakes sound like they might be. OEM brakes needing replacement in 32k miles doesn't sound right at all.

I thought it was because I had lane departure but it looks like all the M's are that expensive to replace.

No. Esurance doesn't have glass coverage unless you pay the full deductible.

Yikes. My dealer told me that they would replace the windshield for $450. I just replaced the rear brakes, they were $200.

Maybe I should have checked with the dealer.......The brakes I bought online and then they charged me $50 to install since they already had the wheels off.

Brakes are a wear and tear items like tires. Unless you have a stuck caliper they will not be covered under warranty. Even then they might not be. There is no "normal " mileage for brake pads. It depends on vehicle weight, driving conditions, driving style, etc.

$50 is a fair price. Brakes are such an easy job I could never bring myself to pay for them but I understand everyone's situation is different and like I said - $50 is a fair price.
