First off about a month of having it, the transmission went out and I had to have it rebuilt.
Then recently the front tire blew out, and blew the entire front wheel well off, and dented the passengers door.
This morning the brakes locked up due to the pad falling off.
Then while changing the brakes, I noticed a leak, and the antifreeze was leaking entirely out underneath the car.
Also while giving it a tune up, one of the tubes that holds the spark plugs came loose and oil leaked into the heater core.
The rear wheel bearings came out.
Added a new radiator.
And have in total cost me approx $4,000 so far.
Lastly, when it feels the need, the dash lights and the radio light will blink for about 15 minutes at a time, then stop.
The car gets great gas mileage.
However it doesn't stay running long enough to enjoy.
That's a ton of things to replace after only 5,000 miles of ownership. Possibly your purchase was severely neglected. Sorry to hear about that.
