You know, there are good and bad in all makes of cars I guess. Believe me when I say that I think it's awesome your car has lasted a long time. Now, some of the things I list about my Alero may sound small to you, but in my opinion in a fairly new car it shouldn't happen. First off, which in my book is totally unacceptable in any car is the UIM/LIM failure. Second would be the oil sending unit failure. I've never heard of one "busting". Oil was pouring from under my car. Next in line, not as bad but still an issue, was both front wheel hubs. Also, I need to replace another one due to the ABS sensor going out, but it's an aftermarket part. No biggie. Smaller things which was aggravating were the driver's side windshield trim falling off on its own, all three knobs for the climate control unit stripped, security light coming on (hasn't done that for a while), both windows do not roll up and down anymore (I'll be honest, that may be my own fault!). I must admit that maintenance was not as good as it should have been due to my medical conditions. I really should have done the UIM/LIM fix sooner. It could be that it along with the recent loss of oil combined together and caused the issue I have now. I felt I took good care of this car, but perhaps I didn't.
