  • Common Problems?

    I still pretty new to f-bodies and cars in general and was wondering about the common problems asociated with my car. So far I've heard:

    -cracking around the circular air ducts
    -cracking door panels
    -teeth on the plastic headlight gears braking
    -weak/dying power windows
    -rusting door hinges
    -interior squeecking

    Are these right? Is there anything else? Do you guys experience any of these or others?

    So far my car is afflicted by the cracked air ducts, cracked door panels,rust on door hinges, the squeecking (sounds like it's coming from inside the door and somewhere behind the driver), and my window motor vibrates the whole door on my passenger side and my driver side motor only works about 98% of the time.

    there's a lot of "smal" problems with these cars. they for 1 have cheaply made, plastic interiors, and are known for numerous problems. they throw coilpacks like crazy, go through o2 sensors like crazy, suck alot of gas, yes even the v6's...and the turn signals in front tend to burn up really really fast, so I bought leds...but yeah, they're pretty cheaply made. But I love mine! :-)

      love me my manual windows!

      But that list is pretty complete. My stick tends to jump out of second gear on cold mornings I hear thats pretty common.
