Known Issues

Engine 2 0L Fe3:

Timing belt failure if not replaced at recommended intervals (interference engine), potential for valve stem seal leaks causing oil consumption.

Engine 2 5L Kl De:

Less prone to catastrophic failure than the 2.0L, but can still have head gasket issues with age and neglect. Intake manifold gaskets can leak.

Suspension:

Wear in control arm bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends can lead to alignment issues and clunking noises.

Electrical:

Degradation of wiring harnesses and connectors over time, especially in high-heat areas. Power window motors and regulators can fail.

Rust:

Common rust areas include wheel wells, rocker panels, and the rear strut towers due to age and exposure to elements.

HVAC:

A/C system recharge and compressor issues are common with age. Blend door actuators or vacuum lines can fail.
