Light went out in dashboard. (6 mo old)
Engine Fan slid off belt & ate into radiator. (3 yrs old)
Rust on front/back bumpers & wheel gate. (3 yrs old)
Overall, it has been a great vehicle.
Not a lot of power with the 4-cylinder engine, but don't need it for in town driving.
A lot of cargo room (spare tire on tailgate) for moving large items or transporting dogs around town.
Uncomfortable on long trips (16+ hours), causing lower back pain.
Box-like shape hard to handle in windy conditions.
A lot of ground clearance for rough terrain & handles great on back roads.
Drives like a small truck; easier than a larger SUV or pick-up.
Large windows great for visibility.
Great review, I agree with the difficult handiling in high winds, (want's to blow me off the road) and I have experinced all the same problems with the fan and bumpers, but once fixed have loved my truck... very reliable, although I would expect better mialage out of a 4 CL.
