Window motors...my driver's side window has been slow since the day I took delivery of the car when it was brandy-new...other than that, the problems I have had have been self-induced by modding the crap out of the car...

window motor, water pump, countless bulbs on the front passenger turn signal, headlight, tail light.
havent fixed the window yet, but water pump aside, everything else was a cheap easy fix

my drivers side window didn't even last 30k miles.
18K on the 2002. Replaced 6 speed tranny (warranty). Noise from POS 10bolt rearend. Warped rotors (replaced under warranty with brutestop rotors). Interior door panels cracking right near the window. Just little **** that is frustrating, but when I put the vertical peddal on the right down to the floor, I could give a rats *** about the shotty build quality.

Same as usual. Window motors and rotors. I replaced my driver's side motor right after getting the car four years ago, the passenger motor went out last sept and I just now bought a replacement to put in this week. 
Not only that, but I guess I'll get practice cause the driver's motor is acting up again. 
I also need to learn how to swap rotors/pads in my parking lot cause not only are my stock rotors warped but have some easily visible (one you can feel) cracks in them.
Brembo blanks or autozone rotors plus hawk HPS pads, here I come.
