Although my car has had very little serious maintenance issues in the nearly 8 years I have owned it (and I bought it used already), there have been small issues that have come up. For instance, the electrical wiring in the car is faulty and my radio will sometimes go out, plus some of the automatic windows don't work. If I run the car above 55 mph then it rattles a bit, because it doesn't like to go super fast but that I consider to be a good thing because it keeps me safe. Other than these small issues, my car has only needed one major repair. It's generally been the healthiest and most reliable vehicle in my family despite its age and the amount of abuse it's taken (e.g. driving a lot on mountains).
