Let's see.
1. Three flat tires.
2. Brakes. (my fault.)
3. Two power window motors.
4. Battery went dead.
5. Car got keyed.
6. Headlight went out. Replaced bulb and checked fuse. So I have a blown ballast.
My car goes in tomorrow to have it checked on. If I have to pay for this ballast, I'm just getting a new car. I'm sick of the stupid crap.
Any suggestions?

Get a ballast online for cheap if they don't warranty it. Find a pic online of what it looks like. I have like 50 spare ballasts in my garage.

That's what I found. It just annoys me since none of my other cars have had these stupid little problems.

Get a BMW if you don't want little cheap BS problems and you want $600 - $1500 issues, hahaha!

A BMW is not on my list. hahaha. And for the exact reason stated. I've dumped enough money into cars that every little expense pisses me off now.
Well, hopefully the dealer fixes the problem. If not, I've found some replacement ballasts.

45000 miles and the only thing that ever broke on my car was the clutch spring, which got fixed by the dealership for free ;)

Those don't seem to be horrid problems...maybe just annoying. Any more story behind them or did they all just randomly happen one night?

In the past year or so my Mom's G went through 3 fuel gauge senders, a set of tire pressure senders, front struts and control arms, warped rotors amongst other things I can't remember.
And that was in the first 15k miles off the showroom floor :D

Oh they're not big problems at all, just the really annoying ones.
I've had engines blow that have bothered me less.

I dunno...the window motor might be an issue. I had to replace them twice on my 350Z.

I've done one on a 350z as well. Along with several engines.
