Hey, how you doing? I am new to this forum, I am looking into getting a 2002 SE model basically fully loaded. I am just wondering is their any known problems the 2002 SE models are having that I should be aware of before purchasing one?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

 

I would start by looking at the TSB's

 

Oh and beware of the stolen HIDs.

You should know of this by now.

Good luck with your purchase.

 

On my 2k2:

Warped rotors in the first few thousand kms (no hard braking either)
Dimly light check engine light (common problem, curable)
TSB's as recommended above
Tranny grinding (6speed) or slipping (auto)
Wind noises (can apply 2k1 TSB for this)
Hood vibrations (can apply 2k1 TSB for this)
Crappy tires (stock potenzas are death tires, should replace)

Thats all i can think of..
