Timing Belt Wear:

Timing belt failure is a significant concern if not replaced at recommended intervals, leading to severe engine damage.

Automatic Transmission Shifting:

Some instances of rough shifting or delayed engagement in the automatic transmission, potentially due to valve body issues or low fluid.

Suspension Wear:

Wear in control arm bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends can lead to steering looseness and noise.

Exhaust System Corrosion:

Rust and corrosion on exhaust components (mufflers, pipes) due to environmental exposure.

Ac System Leaks:

Potential for leaks in the AC system, particularly at the compressor seals or O-rings.

ABS Sensor Failure:
