“I've owned this car for 3 1/2 years. In past year, encountered many expensive problems. Head gasket blew and water pump replaced at approx 56,000 miles. Control arm bushings need replacement at 60,000 miles? I drive this car to and from work each day, no long trips, avg mileage per day = 10 miles possibly. Cannot understand why 5 year old car is having major problems w/low mileage. Maintain it regularly.”
