Working at an extended warranty company I do seem to see the same things over and over again. GM intake gaskets, Ford transmissions, especially on Windstars, Audi and Volkswagen control arms, Toyota water pumps, Honda's CVT transmissions. Everybody has problems with front wheel bearings and oxygen sensors, the Big 3 trucks all have problems with ball joints. Every manufacturer has some problems. Admittedly we do more claims on the Big 3 brands, but some of that has to do with the simpla fact that we sell way more warranties on those vehicles than on the import brands.
I drive a '91 Chevy Corsica, have had it for 9 years now. When I got it it had 134,000 miles on it, it now has 215,000 miles. In that time the transmission has had to be rebuilt, the alternator replaced twice, front struts replaced, about 4 brake jobs, a power steering hose, an a/c compressor, one front hub had to be replaced, a starter, an ignition module, one ignition coil, and the blower motor. Everything else that has had to be replaced was directly related to my aggresive driving. Thats not too many problems for such a high mileage car over such a long time.
