Telescoping steering wheel broke five years ago. Waited for the right part to come down in price. In 2012 I would have to buy a superset of what needed repair which was over $1000. Now there is a subset part offered for $400. Seat rocks |
| 126480 mi | 2 worn studs on rear passenger side had allowed lugnuts to loosen significantly to the point of loosening the wheel. Snow tire wheels may have been cross threaded at tire shop in Calgary, AB. Costco in Helena, MT. was especially kind. They cleaned, repaired studs and put all new lug nuts on all 4 wheels at NO Charge. Can't recommend Costco enough for such superb customer service when they had nothing to do with original problem! |
