Worried about potential repair costs? An extended warranty can provide peace of mind.
Chart based on 14 repair trips. The repair cost chart excludes repairs made under warranty, do-it-yourself repairs, and repair trips that include maintenance.
Noticed a thunking noise when turning hard. Diagnosis was that the tire shop had placed the front tires on the rear wheels (staggered setup) and placed them up front. This caused very low clearance with the strut and they would hit when the wheel was not under load. This was remedied by the tire shop (different location than diagnosis)
At annual maintenance check, excessive tire wear was noted, consistent with overinflation by dealer when car was purchased 10 months earlier. Also, rain sensor fluid had partly leaked - sensor had to be replaced (under warrantee).
