Water had accumulated from HVAC drain pain all the way back into the blower motor behind the glove box. The infamous grommet that normally causes backup had already been removed, so the cause is unclear. We agreed to drill into the lowest part of the pan and run a 16" 1/3" hose to the transmission tunnel, where another hole was drilled, and the line was sealed in. Works like a charm. |
| 47000 mi US $1000 |
Bad side view mirror motor, or switch. |

HID bulb on passenger side went out...took to the dealer to confirm, but replaced myself because the dealer wanted $229 for a single bulb plus $60 to install. I found it for less than half and was able to do it myself. |

245-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 141000 mi US $200 |
Completely no power - even unable to jump start. Thought it might be the alternator, but was a dead battery. Replaced the battery - problem appears to be solved, but its only been a day. |

AFS light on, auto-level headlights do not work properly, but headlights still function. Will be making a separate trip to re-diagnose. |

AFS came on again, from a faulty sensor harness on the suspension. |
