One, the cooling fan circuit failed, had to bypass wiring to switch. Second, the fan pulls air through the A/C condenser, then it pulls it through the radiator, would be fine, but the sides, which are rubber, came off so it's pulling air through the side of the A/C condenser, and the A/C doesn't work if there is no air flow. (putting another fan to push as well). Brake line on passenger front side, burst, randomly one day, leaving me with no brakes. E-Brake broke where it is connected to the body, so I have no E-brake. Hood cable broke so rigged to open with wire from front. Computer was bad, only happened when hot, local auto parts store can test, and they confirmed the issue. $150, I'd spent $1000 on parts and labor, wish I would've known to check that first, especially if your car gets warm/hot, then stalls and takes 20mins to 2hrs to start again.
Now, overflow container, prone to crack, $15 replacement.
Other than that, is a solid car, great gas mileage, great heater, I got as a gift so I shouldn't be complaining, ha ha. Good luck!
