Squeeky driver's seat, fixed twice, still does it
Dome light was blowing fuses so it's now sitting on my desk
Remote release gas gap wouldn't open, fixed by TSB
CV Axle was slinging grease
Front sway bar bushings are toast, new ES bushings sitting in my room for the past 7 months
Couple of outstanding recalls that I won't get fixed
Driver's side front window won't roll down -- regulator is toast
Plunger on the door was malfunctioning and drained my battery, fixed by cleaning the contact

I've had my ES motor mounts and ES bushings sitting in my garage for like six months now. A combination of too lazy and not enough time to install them. Hey, maybe I'll do it this weekend LOL! As far as problemas, 53k+ miles (90+ each day) and no problems yet except for noisy suspension, which I know I need to replace all of the bushings, and I'm going to go with the Ground Control kit with Konis when the time comes, which is really why I'm waiting on the ES bushings...

1997 GL with Duratec - drove to 69,000 miles.
Wheel alignment at around 13,000 miles and battery at 63,000. The rest was all basic maintenance. I usually changed the oil at 4000 mile intervals.
