my fans don't come on when they should, so I have to use the A/C in the summer. I changed the fan switch but it didn't help

the heater always blows at least a little, unless you have the A/C on. Bummer when you want A/C anyways.

My alt and PS belt need changed and will sometimes squeal when it's cold. it's actually not that hard, maybe 15 minutes to change both.

The Brake warning light has been flashing every once and awhile since I changed my rear caliper and messes with the cap. But it just pisses me off.

I have to Manually tell the fuel pump to come on and turn if off to turn off the car. I don't really know how, but it takes power from the coil and goes to the pump. but the car won't turn off until you flip the switch, even with the key out.

My front right markers don't work, I changed one of the bulbs, and I think I couldn't get to the other, but I don't really know why. my turn signal works, and I've never seen a bulb break in only one filiment.

My front bumper doesn't fit over the intercooler so it kinda of sticks out.
The solder on my DSM injectors breaks constantly.

My passenger window only closes using the passenger side switch.

My right low beam is out, but not the high beam, and they use the same bulb for both. I think its a fuse but I don't really know.

My paint is peeling on my driver side front 1/4 panel and door.

my driver side leather seat is torn to shreads

eh.

The filament for the low beam is broken since your bulb uses dual filaments for low & high.
