Lots of problems Ok so I bought my car in June. Since then, that same day, I've had to fix some things and other have broken.
That day I had to fix the front right blinker because the people at the car lot were stupid and thought that the light staying solid meant the blinker was working. Then the gas cap and new wipers. They had a twist on cap in the car instead of the snap in kind.
Since then, I've replaced the PCV valve, the fuel filter, the left front blinker 3 times (and it just went out again).
I'm having an issue with the MAF. Code P0102, Mass Air Flow Low Input or whatever.
The tie rod on the right needs to be replaced.
The "T" fitting that keeps my lines together for my a/c and heater is broken. (I keep forgetting to go get that part.)
I hit a series of poorly filled in pot holes the other day now my front right end is even more screwed up. It makes a humming noise when I turn my wheel to the left and the noise goes away when I turn my wheel to the right. When I go slow there's a constant vibration almost like I'm driving over rumble strips.
Plus my car smells like rotten eggs off and on. So either my Cat is going out or the timing is off.
So today I get to take my car into a mechanic to have it diagnosed. And if the cat is going out I'm sending my car off a cliff because I've had it.

As for the MAF, those seem to **** out on 3.8's alot, you may need another, the thing may not be able to read the air since its dying.

Cats are covered under federal warranty for 8 years/80,000 miles. Dealer will replace it for free if it goes bad.

do you mean the bulb or the actual blinker on the fuse panel? sounds like it could be a bad ground or a hole(if its the bulb) somewhere in the lens. I would also agree with the wheel hub bearing(ive replaced the same bearing on my GTP 3 times(twice on 1 side))....sounds like a definate case of TLC

Nope, no salvaged title.
The bulb keeps blowing out. There was a small hole in the top of the housing, got it all fixed and it lasted for 3 weeks before it blew again. Before it would blow the next day.
Thanks for all the help guys.
