My 2000 has broken the exhaust three times..Due to the lousy design the pipes break at the flange and have to be re-welded...mine is welded in three of the four places it can break...These things also have a bad habit of developing leaks on the rear axle seals...Mine hasn't done that yet however.

Column lock, passenger window regulator and ground wire connections, from what I have heard.....

Sometimes the fuel gauge will go bonkers, but in 99 percent of the time, that can be fixed by a few tank fulls of Chevron gasoline.
