Mines got lots of problems, I swear I have a lemon.

Whats been replaced @ a dealer:
- Two new sets of front brakes and pads (OEM)
- Set of Mopar S1 Brakes
- Seatbelt
- Shifter
- L/F Hub
- Steering Column/Shaft/Clockspring
- 3 sets of Plugs/wires
- Powersteering pump and belt
- Fuel pump and sending unit
- Headlights (due to condensation)
- Ever since I bought the car the damn thing shakes on the highway Balanced about 20 times
- Consistent alignments, my rear end is always out
- Ball Joints
- And as of this Friday: PCV Valve/Line, TPS, and IAC.
And thats probably not even all of it but I can't think right now and my VIP isnt in front of me.

I have a vaccum leak somewhere. MY intercooler is also chuck full of oil. It burns oil like its going out of style. And I drive it like its not even broken in yet.

I have 26,600 miles on the car. And this has all been since day one. You guys are lucky. I still love my car to death and wouldn't part with it for the entire world, but sometimes things just don't go right at all.

my car is fine except that it won't stay in one piece long enough for me to get a clean run at the track. damn vacuum lines keep popping off...

My only problems have been self-induced, in my 22,000 miles. Great car. More reliable than any corolla, tercel, olds, celica, or civic I've owned.

4500 miles no problems. Stage zero with an OCC. Not raced officially, but has been run quite hard a few times ;-) Daily driver through the week. Tires holding up ok. Brakes ok. 1 earl change with Mobil One 10w30 full syn. New Fram earl filter. Orig. plugs, air filter and everything else. Have pulled the shift **** off about 6 times and the drivers belt shoulder adjust **** twice. I know now how NOT to pull them off, but have not "fixed" them to prevent it either. Yet.
Idle does stumble every once in a while but not often and not having degraded performance at high r's to justify the inevitable plugs and wires change. Yet.
Boost is consistent and car has gotten a little quicker as it has broken in. The trans shifts better now too. Was quite notchy.
Will not complain about gas as this is one of the reasons I got this car. (traded a '96 Grand Cherokee with 31x10.5 BFG mud terrains in on it) and my other "car" is a fully size Shivvy truck w/a 305 4bbl. So gas mileage is phenomenal in my book.
