Owned the car since early July. Probably spent 25 hours resolving various rattles--some far worse than others. No CELs. Crickets, yes, dip, yes, rear deck pop, yes.

Most peoples cars are free of problems. People are 5 times more likely to complain, than they are to praise, so you will always see more posts about their problems.

And people with problems will seek out information or solutions as well, which leads to a forum about their car. Which I see as a very good thing. Many times that ends up with a solution being found, and that information being distributed.

I think the people that claim their cars are free of 'problems' have a differing definition on what a problem is. Crickets are a perfect example. I highly doubt anyone in the US is free of crickets without additives or specific gas use.

Rattles drive me crazy, but other people don't even notice them. It's all relative. For the record, I've never owned a car I felt was free of problems.
