Faults:

Brakes at 50000Km

Something at the gearbox - 400$ repair

Coolant leaking - 20$ part and over 800$ the work to replace (two days of work, had to remove the transmission)

Ignition coils (all 6) - 800$ (plus tax)

Funny squeaking noises when started in the winter cold. Dealer says it's because the belts are cold. I'm talking really embarrassing noises.

General Comments:

The car drives very well, when it drives. Unfortunately for me, it's not reliable.

Oh, and it drinks lots of gas.

Faults:

There were no problems with this vehicle. It was rock solid!

General Comments:

This was a nice, nice vehicle. The comfort and features are as nice as any top SUV. The new V6 is flawless, good, but not great 4-wheel drive, got stuck a few times when I didn't have a chance to shift to 4-L. The vehicle drove great on the highway, like a luxury sedan and had plenty of passing power. If there was a flaw, it would be the poor gas mileage, needed premium gas or else you only get 15mpg, and only 18 with the premium stuff. Sound system is the best in the industry. I had to sell it recently, as it was bought in the SUV heyday with high sticker prices and no incentives meaning a very high monthly payment. These 2001 models should be a good deal at $22,000-$25,000.
