Honestly,
The failure points only be come an issue over time. The Hell hole is the biggest design issue I can think of. It is only because of overcharging and crud not being cleaned out, and or removal of rain tray. Most of the other issues are consumables, such as suspension parts, For the most part these cars are built very well. |

If only they had made the drain hole bigger and did not plug it with a weep seal
