- Rear Main Seal (ouch)
- Flex Pipe ($350 for a steel tube? Must be gold plated)
- Broken springs (warranty, which covered towing too)
- Creaky sway bar bushings - replaced during rear main seal repair
- P/S pump replaced - oil intrusion leaking thru cap - no big deal
- Rear upper control arms
- Melted tail light wiring and clusters (both sides)
- Interior falling apart (replaced under warranty)
- Faded door handles (replaced under warranty)
- Keys falling apart (on third set of keys)
