electrical problems, brake issues, intrument cluster issues, idle, etc.
my very first mercedes however, a 95 C220, the "four Bangin Wonder" built like a tank and no problems... but it was imported from Germany... where they actually make cars

My wife's Toyota and my brother's Honda were also made in the US but they have been completely bulletproof.

buy then again, like John L said, every vehicle has its own problem. If you go to honda or Acura forum, you'll find TONS of CRAP happen on hondas or acuras.... nothing is perfect....

With the exception of the interior plastic gripe, I wouldn't worry about the rest. My Freedom top does not leak, the power is similar to the 97 TJ I had (although the auto takes a little getting used to), and it seems most of the people with recent builds are having pretty good luck. As with any vehicle, there are lemons...:sad:
