RE: Known bugs in our VR6's with extended mileage

["jeff" <jjm@attbi.com>]

I'm at 60k on my 98 GLX and so far all my side moldings have come off, my rear
bumper is hanging down on the driver's side (broken bracket I think, with no
apparent cause (i.e. I didn't hit anything and nothing hit me)).  The clip that
held the rear window to the motor broke, costing me $300 to fix (I tried to do it
myself but had to take it in).  The front driver's side window comes down
automatically when I close it (I have to inch the window up incrementally until
it's closed).  I've had a squeaky belt pulley almost from day one (but the dealer
mechanics could never hear it while it was under warranty).

P.S.  On a positive note, no coil pack problems.
