Known Issues
Engine Reliability:

Transmission Reliability:
Manual transmissions are generally robust. Automatic transmissions may develop issues with shifting or torque converter if not serviced regularly.
Electrical System:
Aging wiring harnesses, intermittent electrical gremlins, and issues with door lock actuators or power window motors are common with age.
Suspension And Steering:
Worn ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings can lead to vague steering and poor handling. Power steering pumps can also be a failure point.
Corrosion:
Body rust, especially around wheel arches, rocker panels, and the subframe, is a significant concern in areas with road salt.
