The wheel bearing started humming when I bought the car. The ball joint almost let go and I have a hole in the gas tank.
I have to pull down the drivers side window with my hand and the lock broke three times. The latch for the hood broke right off, it's in the dumbest place I've ever seen, and it's plastic of all things. So I have two different keys for the doors and I need pliers to get in under the hood and a screw driver to get in the trunk.
I guess that the dash buckling is a common thing cause mine is to. And the carpet is coming unglued on the side walls in the back.
Once I fixed the wheel bearing and the ball joint this car is the best riding car I have ever owned.
I just love the look of my car. I put in a sunroof, and I am presently doing it right up.
All in all I'd say this is my favorite car, minus a few little things.
I also have a broken hood release, but I have not figured out how to apply the pliers to make the hood open. Can you please tell me how you manage? I am also unable to open the trunk. I plan on replacing the entire lock assembly.
I do agree that outside of these issues, I am VERY happy with my car.
