The heat shield over the catalytic converter rusted prematurely and fell off. The dealers claimed this part was not essential and no repairs were made. Still concerned me. I also have had an unusual history of electrical related problems, to wit: (1) power window switch replaced twice; (2) instrument light switch; (3) fan switch; (4) alternator, (5) both engine cooling fans. I think there is a primary electrical problem causing all of these failures from the time I got the car, but the dealer says they must be coincidence. I never received any notification for the recalls involving the antilock breaks that I have or the front springs. I have always had one problem with antilock breaks that they have never been able to diagnose. When driving on ice, if I become stuck and the wheels spin any, then the antilock break light comes on and will not go out unless I shut off the motor and restart the engine. Both of these items are listed here on your site. Incident date is estimated date for the heat shield. Other items were at different times.
