Default what are the common repairs?

I am looking to buy a 2007 or 2008 GX. What are the common repairs? I have a GS300. I had to replace the AC servo, door actuator etc which are very common problems on 2nd gen GS.

My list taken from my post in one of the links above, plus I added a couple more...

This may have been covered already, but as an original owner of a 2005 I can share my experiences which have popped up on here with other owners on more than one occassion.

1) Warped rotors - a systemic problem due to brakes being undersized

2) Siezed calpiers - replaced both front calipers

3) Leaking radiator - bottom corner driver side commonly develops a leak - I replaced my radiator with a Koyorad

4) Seatbelt tensionors start to loose their retract ability.

5) Dash crack

6) With age/mileage - shocks and there is always the possibility of needing to replace the rear air suspension in whole or in part. If you own your GX long enough, count on it.
