| Oct 201668000 mi | Replaced the intermediate steering shaft for the second time in two years. Not a fun job to do, especially from the underside of the vehicle.

| Mar 201873000 mi | I purchased a new maintenance free Duracell battery at Sam's Club in July of 2017.

I connect a battery charger/maintainer to the battery during storage period and all was well until two months later when I noticed that the battery was no longer taking a charge. I thought my battery charger/maintainer may have been defective, so I tried another one with the same results. The battery was dead and would not take a charge. It had a 3 year free replacement warranty, so I took it back to Sam's Club last month and got a replacement. All is well again so far. | ||
