| 90000 mi US $744 |
Intermediate steering shaft was broken; dealer replaced. |
| 122000 mi | Suspension was making creaking noises when I turned the car. Shop mechanic said everything was fine, but that the cold weather was probably causing the creaking sound. Since the suspension is a closed system, there is nothing to grease. I can live with the problem. |
| 252000 mi US $2000 |
Replace both front end struts and 1 drive shaft. |
