Mar 201891000 mi | Mechanic described lots of oil and grease leaks. Also, cracked belts. Steering system (control arms) getting loose and probably needs repair or replacement. Tons of electrical problems: no a.m. radio, doors do not lock/unlock all of the time, rear lift gate will not unlock or open at all. Decided to live with these issues and run the car into the ground, even though I would have preferred to get 50K more miles out of it before it went bad on me. |
