not sure if you're still looking for responses but i'm new here and figured i'd give 2 cents.

I bought my car about 5 months ago used and as the owner i've taken it in for the following:

1.) vibration while idling-had a rough idle, recovered the a/c, removed and replaced the engine, new oil filter, gaskes, filled with new coolant and oil, recharged the a/c system

2.) felt like my car was going to stall out from an idle-had lack of power, had a high misfire in r2, coils were overheating and misfiring, the wires were found sparking, and the plugs were fouled. The plug wires and coils were replaced, they drove it found the idle still there, re-checked and found i had low compression. the starter and battery were at fault and were replaced.

3.) complained about my 2nd gear they found no issue

That Day the following were replaced:
Engine-remanufactured
gasket set
gasket ex.
new oil
new o-rings
new coolant
starter
battery
ignition
cord set
spark plugs

2nd time it went in they basically ordered parts for the following problems:

4.) seat belt buckle not working-ordered

5.) pass door trim warped-ordered

6.) driver door trim warped-ordered

7.) fuel guage fluxuates-replaced fuel guage

8.) wanted to know why i had broken plastic-missing under tray, not under warranty i declined


And most recently:

9.) seat belt was found cracked they replaced it

10.) trim on passenger side replaced

11.) trim on driver side replaced

12.) found 2 sending units shorted to the ground and replaced those

13.) car won't go into 2nd gear-found grinding noise ordered 1st and 2nd gear parts.

parts ordered:
2nd gear
ring synch x 2
clutch sleeve
steel ball
spring synch
key synch

not sure if this helps you

oh and my car has 32,000 miles
