Another issue can be the yaw sensor..not hugely expensive but required a removal of half the interior to replace. Another issue is the sensor pad for the passenger airbag can fail. Some were under recall, some we're not. Mine was not but I found a emulator system that was cheap and easy to install that still allows the bag to deploy but will also deploy if nobody is in the seat. I've heard of cooling system issues here and there. Have not had any other major issues otherwise. Great car, safe and comfortable..a huge gas hog, however. Taught my boys on a 2004 Saab 9-3 manual. Good luck.

Much appreciated with the CCV and sensors info. That's the type of things I'm looking for. In hindsight, I wished I had kept my e46...
As far as a gas hog, my wife's AWD 5.7l Durango and my S/C'd Tacoma 4x4 are just as bad. That's the price we pay for wrapping our kids in plenty of steel and having enough room for several sets of golf clubs.
