The ABS had died probably at about the mileage my LeSabre is at now. Had a power window or two fail. The gas gauge didn't work. The weatherstripping was coming off in places. And it had this odd tendency to creak over bumps at random intervals that no one could ever diagnose. I still loved it to death, though.
Admittedly, I've had to change a few things on the LeSabre within the past year, mainly things such as the water pump and the power steering pump...but my Accord also went through a few radiators and such. As it stands, I'd say my LeSabre is a gem in comparison.

Since my car has been in storage I am going to have to look forward to fixing all this before I start driving it late summer/ early fall. Okay where to start!
Broken Window (door on passanger'* side)
Leaking tail light assembly (making a nice little lake I have to clean out once a month)
High Idle (haven't found the full cause of my 2kRPM)
New Tires
Arrrggghhh that is about what I think is left that is actually broken/in need of repair. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will not have to replace the tranny for atleast one year.

Every car is different. You can find a GM 3800-powered car that has few problems, and a Toyota or Honda with a lot of problems, and vice versa. I'd say our cars are quite reliable actually, and inexpensive to repair compared to imports.

I never took the time to read over this thread since it would only make me more depressed, but I will say that when I purchased this Bonne last year and I drove it home I noted appoximately 21 things that were wrong with it. Of those 21 I've sucessfully repaired 15 and ended up getting it certified and emssiones tested. Since it'* been on the road for the last 6 months I've found another 10 more items that need repairing so now I'm back up to 16 items on my things to do list.
Wish me luck.
