Both front wheel bearings, cv shafts-right one was replaced twice, sway links and sway bar bushings, sun roof when it goes in the up position - suppose to close with one touch of a button - well it doesn't, sqeaks and rattles - lets not even touch that. Rough idle - iac valve replaced the problem is back again, throttle body cleaned, induction service done. I am up to date on all my services and regular maintenance, always done at the dealer. Now, my final drive gear is making a whining noise - so i need a tranny :o wtf ? I just had transmission valve body replaced because i had rough shifts up/down 3rd gear, coil pack cracked-replaced... i just don't know was i lucky enough to buy a lemon? any of you guys have similar problems? Btw, most of the mileage is highway driving - commuting to school/work, i am not even hard on the car, anyways to make the long story short i am just pissed.

Sounds like it was either a Monday morning made car, or a Friday Afternoon made car

That myth is just that, a myth. Having worked in almost every area of the plant, you have to think like a worker wanting to get out on a Friday. They are highly motivated to get the job done, especially if there is a rumour floating around that they only need XXX number of vehicles and were done for the day. That means work hard with little problems and line stoppages and we get out early.
If I were to say what day is the worst, it's Wednesday. Not Thursday because that's payday. Wednesday your in hump day mode and the first guy you want to fawk over is your boss.
Avoid hump day :D
