Only issues I have had with mine since I got it about 4 months ago was the wheel bearing problem that appears to be a reassmbly issue (so it really can't be considered a design fault) and a bad thermostat, which was $22 to replace.
Huh?
I could have sworn the center lock nut did not have to be removed to replace the rotors on out cars.............

Maybe I'm just wrong.
