What defects/issues have you experinced?Waranty expiring soon n i have questions for ya all.PLZ help
I did my homework before buying the car and by now i know that main defects were Overheating issues and Windows sometimes not going all the way up. I have all them, incuding the one with the cluster, where my gas gauge was running back and forward. Once i was standing on a gas station, just checked the gauge, was 1/3 full. Next moment the arrow goes to minimum and stays there. Computer shows 0 miles to be driven on tank! I knew i was fine, unless my tank would have a big ar$$ hole, which it didnt. But i still pumped in a little gas, just in case.
So i was wondering what folks here have issues with other than those? I think i saw some have weak control arms, bushings?
Im really freaking out bout what will happen once i run out of warranty. And im still not too sure whether i should CPO it. I know very little about extended warranties.
TIA
P.S. Ohh and sorry for bothering by posting same question in a "follow-up" and "new thread".

I posted yesterday regarding my failed instrument cluster, and my windows won't go up all the way. As a result of all these failures I've decided to put the car up for sale.

Cluster should be NO Problem...
...I didnt even have to point out it needs to be replaced because of my gas gauge problem(i have it VIDEO taped by a Digital Camera that has built-in video!). I had those overheating problems, and my fan didnt kick in. First call from service wile my car was in there (more than a week now!) and they say "we're replacing your cluster, seems like its the problem". I still dont get why both of my fans are not working while driving/idling. They only seem to get to work when i turn on the AC. Than, both of them start working at the same time. To me it looks like the relay had gone wrong, but all they changed is the cluster. Well, lets see! Im picking the car up from dealer in couple hours.
To me it seems if you have one issue, either window, overheating or instrument cluster, you will be fetting the "whole set" ---> aka all of them together. Im do not think those issues come by one. If the bug is in there, hes gonna get'em all. So you better check all those problems WHILE YOU ON WARRANTY !!!! 4 WEEKS IN MY CASE !!!!!!! BOY, AM I FREAKING OUT !!!!
Good luck!
