 After 3 months of highway driving, there was a very noticeable vibration in the steering wheel at speeds greater than 100 Km/hr.  The rack & pinion was replaced free of charge, but I was charged for an alignment.  Two weeks later, the vibration was back.  This time I was charged for a wheel re-balancing.  The CD player was repaired three times in a year.  The tires were bald after 40,000 Km.  There is excessive brake and wind noise. The driver's front headlight bulb has been repalced twice in 40,000 km (I seldom drive at night, so only the running lights are on).
