My mother claims she never had a problem with her MY97 VDP, other than when she would hit something with it.

Since I got it from her at the end of August this year, with just under 38K on the odo, I've had the a/c compressor seize, the dome lights flash like disco ***** whenever I open the rear doors, the accelerator stick, the telescoping steering wheel mechanism fail, the "bad bulb" light come on whenever it feels the urge to, two stripped lug nuts on the right front that tricked me into thinking I had a bent wheel, a leaking rack and pinion system, paper-thin front rotors, wheels that wouldn't come off, and a rearview mirror that, as someone put it, is slowly morphing into a lava lamp.

Is this what happens at 40K? Or does this car just want to go home to Mommy? lol

...Maybe it doesn't like the fact that I drive it like I drive my Honda S2000...

 

Wow Diane...quite a bit of problems. Sounds like the car was just holding on, and the BOOM! Maybe she does just miss her mum!

 

Let's face it...no one likes turning 40!

Actually, if you can get the clock to fail you should be done with most of the normal problems.
