Strong reliable vehicle. Brake discs prone to warping. Noises from the front struts require replacement of the rubber spring seats in early models. Faulty mass air-flow sensor can cause loss of power in early models, but fixed by replacing sensor and reprogramming computer. Ignition coil, throttle position sensor and idle control valve all known to fail, at least in early models. Idle control valve can short out the ECM, leading to costly repairs. All such electrical faults trigger the check engine light.
