Rear struts and stabilizer bar ends replaced. Dealer was not super competent. Had the repair fixed at a better private shop. |
| 140000 mi US $300 |
Front stabilizers and tie rods were supposedly repaired about a year ago by the local dealer I won't make any conclusions about the dealer, who used to be a pleasure to work with but has "evolved". I will say that after a year of reporting clunking and pulling etc is all being redone at a private shop. |

Leaking power steering pump, resulted in low fluid. Rebuilt the pump. Discovered there is a stain inside the reservoir so can't tell the level of the fluid by looking at the outside. Chose not to replace the reservoir. Price might be off as it is from memory. |
