The shifter was binding when shifting from park to drive and reverse. Entire shifter assembly had to be replaced. |
| 65000 mi US $120 |
The shifter would not return to the neutral position after it was placed in drive or reverse. Dealer wanted $700 to replace. Got new one from junkyard for $120. Checking old one, found insufficient grease. |
| 100000 mi US $25 |
Left axle seal was leaking "pretty good". Covered by a 7-year 100k extended warranty, $25 deductible. Problem was discovered while the dealership performed a "pre-delivery inspection" done at my request and for which I paid $95, to find problems. |
| 107000 mi | Shift lever clicks during shifting. This is likely due to a warped piece of plastic. Decided to live with the problem for now. |
| 49000 mi US $200 |
Gear shift lever was binding and sounded like it was going to break. Shop said lever was bent behind dash. They fixed the lever and greased the rods. |
