Lee you forgot that the ABS computers fail...

Those are most of the things that commonly fail, but one shoudn't distress too much. Most of those things have never failed on my '95, including...


The glove box latch will break.

The dashboard mounts will break.

If you have a sunroof the headliner material will fall off.

The magnets will fall off of the tweeters on the front and rear deck speakers.

The recline cable in the seat back will break.

--Well, that last one is only half true. While the seat back cable has never broken, but I have had to do work on both front seats...

In comparison to maintaining a 240, I have found that for every one thing that is more prone to break or is a PITA to fix on the 850, there is another thing on the 240 that is a PITA or more prone to fail than the 850.
