There are only 3 issues that I am aware of with the car (none of these are big issues but I want to give full disclosure): 1. The passenger side electronic door lock occasionally doesn't lock with the keyless entry. Probably just needs cleaned/lubed or worst case replaced. I just have not had time to look into it and it happens so infrequently that it hasn't really been an issue. 2. The airbag steering wheel was removed to install the non-airbag M-tech wheel. As part of this conversion I changed all of the column stalks (turnsignal, wiper, etc) from a non-airbag car as this provides more clearance between the wheel and the stalks. In doing this the windshield washer pump will not operate from the stalk...No idea why. So for a temporary fix, a small pushbutton switch hidden in the center console runs the washers. 3. One issue known to swapped cars is that with the A/C on the idle does fluctuate when the compressor kicks off and on. Not an issue while underway and not really an issue at idle (reminds me of cars from the 70's). Video Here: http://youtu.be/626Goy2VmSI Call or email for any questions.
