1988 Dodge Grand Caravan with radiator failure at 28,000 miles and what must have been a world's record of six automatic transmissions in 69,000 miles; since it has a 70,000 mile powertrain warranty, can you guess when I sold it at 69,800 miles?
Next was a 1979 Olds Delta 88 with the pathetic 350 cubic inch diesel engine. Numerous fuel injection pump failure due to water in diesel fuel (so why couldn't GM just have installed a water separator device as did the European manufacturers?), and then there was the broken crankshaft at 45,000 miles.
But on the flip side, the 1989 Toyota Cressida we owned was an absolute dream in terms of repairs. Other than tires, brake pads and such, the single unusual repair was having to replace one brake caliper.
