Ok here i have some nasty problems. For starters, my headlights shorted out on me 2 times on the way home tonght and again when i pulled up to my house, all 4 of em. if i get out and slap the fusebox, they come on. drive a bit, they die, repeat. WTMF!!!
The glovebox floods nicely when it rains, shouldnt i worry about the computer getting soaked?
The damn kidney grill keeps fallin off, but no worries about that. My hood wouldnt stay shut to save my life, i damn near body slammed it, woudlnt click shut, but i think i fixed that. at least for now And the horn worked the day i bought it, but not since.
My turn signals are screwed up *see other post* the relay or something
and to top it all off, it almost caught on fire yesterday. I had the heater on *wasnt blowing heat really, somewhat while i was going* and smoke started commin outta the dash rather nastily. The engine itself caught on fire for the former owner
theres plenty more problems, i just cant think of them now.

if do a search for recall bullitens i believe there was one about the wiring to the heater controls/motor being the wrong gauge and overheating,and in some cases cathing fire,,do a search for "your cars year""your cars model" recalls
