I'm really starting to think that my car is revolting against me!!

Over the past few weeks, I have had so many problems (mostly minor) with my car! They all seem to be unrelated, which could be good in a way, but still quite frustrating. The problems are as follows:
-overboost/limp mode problem
-"ping" noise from the rear suspension
-brake pads replacement
-window motor is making noise
-brake light switch died (consequently the cruise control doesn't work)
-coolant expansion tank is being replaced b/c of the 'cold-weather' coolant level sensor problem

I don't understand! Hopefully all of this will be taken care of in the next week or so. </rant>

Maybe it is normal maintenance...

But then again, maybe your TT has decided you are ugly and you dress funny, so it is punishing you...

well the brakes are normal maintenance

it's just funny that all this stuff is happening at the same time. oh, i forgot to add that the tires need to be replaced too...

i think my car is trying to tell me that i don't treat her well enough...i'll have to buy her a gift (100 octane perhaps) once the overboost/limp mode problem is resolved ;-)

Its ok, my car HATES me, and I treat her like a queen. In 4 mo. time..

had for 10k miles/4.5mo and at 60k miles now:
-MAF sensor
-coolant temp sens x2
-ambient temp sensor
-went through radiator fan mod, ac high pressure, and fridgerant check to find out the problem was corroded fuse holder on top of battery.
-airbag light which is intermittent
-turn signal relay

and those are just the things ive fixed! also I think I have a boost of fuel problem, plus got a few noises I should check out, my radio volume is sketchy, my center display is missing lines, and a headlight keeps getting water in it after Ive resealed it.

for maitenance Ive done water pump (plastic was cracked), timing belt/tensioners, airfilter, and the oil changes are such a PITA.

I treat her so good, but she seems to have something really bad happen almost every week. Shes so hard to love, but I do. Why o Why must it be this way?
