Well, the latch on my glove box came loose, and forced me to slam it a few times till I figured it out. It used to pop open under full throttle, scared the crap out of me. So the glove box is a problem too.

My glovebox cracked on me a month after I bought the car new. The plastic that acts as a stop cracked. Then the new box wouldn't shut. The dealer had the car for several days replacing the latch, another box, etc. before they finally got it. Unbelievable.

The gas pedals exceptional functionality is the root of most other problems.

I swear my fix list never goes under 5 items. I have to say the door sills are holding strong.

The lock on the glove department (didn't know about that one tell i was in my friends jeep and wundered if i had one )

the stupid ASR always seems to work right and come on when the car starts up. ( one think i wish that would break).

As of right now my fixed list is
Window,
Shifter bazel thingy. (plastic thing dont know what to call it)
Window door switchs (broken and sticking out)
Unlock alarm button.
middle glove department kinda of loose
cut in headliner.
Cig. Lighter. (Lighter that i stole out a torus from the ford dealership keeps shorting it out )

Thats about it. I Think its easier to make a list of whats wrong then whats never wrong.

My backseat is still nice and new.... but its never in my car anymore so....... oh and there is a little button thing on the seatbelt to keep the latch from sliding all the way down that fell off the other day... i sewed a button in its place.....GHETTO i know. and at the top of the passenger seat there is a plastic piece that holds the seatbelt in the correct place that has broken off and is somewhere on I-35 thanks to a blonde bimbo...So mark those off the list...

You can scratch gas pedal off the list. Mine kept getting stuck at half throttle or more, then I found out it was the connection to the cable that broke, causing some pretty wild rides.

Guess I'm lucky.... as far as the original factory stuff goes. I haven't had a problem other than the window motor.

Oh yeah.... that little insert thingy on the cup holder popped out one time.

Now, if you want to talk about troubles..... I've got a buddy with a Dodge Dakota that's about a year old and it seems like everything is coming apart in that thing.

For the money, these cars are hard to beat imo.

.....my passenger side sun blocky thing has the strap stretched out so that if you dont tuck it under the mirror clip it hangs down, my passenger t top has a semi-bent rod in it (i think) and is very hard to use, my passenger side mirror motor is not tight i guess so when everybody slams my door close i have to adjust the mirror......
next post..somethign about the window sill....anyways i have to fix my driver side one, enough said

ya theres more
