Common problems:

Column lock
Differential leaks
High oil consumption
Rocking driver's seat
Whistling intake manifold
Intermittent fuel gauge

Some are beginning to report cracks in the thin spoked wheels at the connection to the outer rim.

My 01 has had a column lock recall and uses 1 pint of oil between oil changes which I do not consider high oil consumption.
