"It's a nice car, but is costing more to maintain than I expected"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1.Air Conditioning went out.

2.Check Engine Light has gone out several times and is still on.

3.Antenna broke.

4.Driver's side door spring broke so the door won't close unless you push it shut.

5.ABS, Tracs Off Lights are on.

6.Electrical system is TERRIBLE!!! Half of the lights on the radio panel are out.

7.Several tail light bulbs have burned out.

General comments?

1. The car handles well and held up great when I was rear-ended at 55 mph in a snow storm. There was only slight damage to the trunk, but the other guy's vehicle, an SUV, was crunched in the front.

2. I love the fact that the car rides and feels heavy. I really do feel safe in the car.

I am surprised by the electrical problems as my 1998 S70 is perfect with no problems at over 130,000 miles - not even a bulb out! Great cars.
