The car has only 59000 miles on it. The top front doors are attached with the hinge pins stuck in from the bottom. The clips holding them in rust out for no reason... open the door and the door falls off (well, mostly off) . Buy new clips? NO WAY. You can't buy the 3 cent clips from the dealer--you can't even buy the pin with a clip. You have to buy and install an entire hinge assembly! Who would put the hinge pins in from the bottom so this problem is inevitable? This was after I had to get the dashboard glued back together (recalled because of glue failure.) 60000 miles now and the transmission is leaking and being rebuilt as I type.
