Apr 2008150000 miUS $800 | Steering a little "loose". Dealer found bad front suspension "carrier" assy (brake and wheel mount to this), plus bad inner tie rod end. Replaced both, now much better steering. | ||
Jul 2008180000 miUS $1200 | Rattle in exhaust, engine hunts when shifts out of overdrive, but not into 3rd gear. Had Exhaust system replaced, cleaned injectors. Still hunts a lot out of overdrive. Hunting not cured. Some say this is a bad solenoid in tranny. | ||
Jan 2010215000 miUS $300 | Engine "misses" cold at 60-70mph. Dealer said coil pack towers slightly rusted, some injectors "slow". Cleaned coil towers and ran injector cleaner. Now ok. | ||
Oct 2010227000 miUS $700 | Wheel bearing assy in right front replaced. The left front had been replaced at 188,000 miles. Also, did the front brakes. Dealer says rear valve cover seal leaking. | ||
Feb 2012250000 miUS $1000 | Intake manifold leaking coolant into oil and out of engine in general. Installed new gasket. No, this is not the plastic, but is the steel gasket. Replaced both valve cover gaskets, while intake manifold off. |

Sep 2019164000 miUS $125 | Trans cooler line rotted out and sprung a major leak. Both lines were replaced, should have been an easier job but one of the line fittings was corroded into the fitting on the trans causing much strugglation. lol Also fan shroud fastners were corroded together. I believe I invented new swear words while performing this repair. | ||
Mar 2021168000 miUS $250 | Had alternator load tested at local parts store, it failed. Ordered new alt from Azn, it arrived damaged in shipping, returned/exchanged and finally installed. Battery was very weak and wouldn't take a charge, replaced battery after about five hours of wrestling with the corroded battery hold down stud. Ugh, it's great living in the rust belt. |
