Known Issues
Common Wear Items:
Timing belt replacement is critical at recommended intervals (e.g., 60,000-90,000 miles) to prevent catastrophic engine damage. Ignition coils and spark plugs can be a source of misfires. Wheel bearings, CV joints, and suspension bushings can wear over time, leading to noise or poor handling.

Automatic transmissions can sometimes develop issues with torque converters or solenoid packs, particularly with age and neglected fluid changes. Manual transmissions are generally robust but clutch wear is a standard maintenance item.
Electrical Quirks:
Older vehicles may experience issues with window regulators, power door locks, or dashboard warning lights due to aging wiring or components.
