Got your attention didn't I? Is there a particular group of engines that have these problems. Some cars have one or two of these issuses. My car is an early production but has 82K and I don't have any of these issues and was wondering when they may appear.

I believe the ones built in 2002. There are quite a few threads on this problem. A search should provide the exact answer.
