Here goes. There are some issues:
1. There is a screeching/scraping sound from the rear, possibly the dust shields. Sometimes, hitting the brake stops this sound; sometimes, shaking the steering wheel from side to side stops the sound, or makes the sound change sides.
2. The RKE sometimes works, often not.
3. The gauges are erratic. Oil pressure can read fine, then suddenly the needle points to the bottom right of the gauge. The speedo is just erratic, unless at highway speed. The tach jumps around. The temp reads very hot, right below the red, but the computer reads cooler. The fan does run. Sometimes, the temp needle moves rather quickly. The volts gauge reads 12, but no higher.
4. The idle is WAY too high.
5. The transmission is frequently in the wrong gear. It may be in third, when it should be in second. When you step on the gas, it UPSHIFTS, and falls on its face.
6. Acceleration is acceptable in first. In second, it doesn't have that burst of power it used to have. Highway is OK. It seems that, under acceleration from a stop, it shifts from first almost instantly to third.
7. The AC doesn't seem to get cold quickly. I mean, it eventually got too cold for me in the cabin, but after running on max AC for an hour. The air coming from the vents is cool, but not cold.
8. The shifter slides back and forth between drive and neutral, without feeling firmly in gear. I cannot shift to first.
It isn't all bad. The tires, alignment, brakes, and coolant lines are good.
If you haven't tightened the bolts on your steering column, DO IT. My column felt tight. I figured to locktite the bolts, anyway. They were loose. If mine were loose, I suspect everyone's are loose.
