Oct 201657000 mi | Another front headlight bulb failed. | ||
Feb 201777602 mi | Dealer replaced hose clamps that were weak, cleaned up the leaked A/T fluid - hopefully, that would stop the leaking. Done at no charge, given the earlier service. One more try - replaced all Transmission/Radiator hoses. Still didn't do it - new radiator would be over $600, and the leak is VERY slow - so not sure it's worth it - still an open issue. | ||
Aug 201770006 miUS $381 | Left (Driver) side headlight - I replaced myself Transmission fluid leak was noticed at an earlier regular oil change. Appeared to be from the lines cooling the automatic transmission fluid. No known damage to the car that would have caused it, unless from the "extra undercoating" applied by the previous dealer under a service campaign. We thought that the steps taken - sealing of transmission pan, and replacement of A/T hoses would fix. I initially thought all OK, until I parked in the garage and noticed that the leaking was continuing. We came to a compromise - not sure exactly where the leak was coming from, they resealed the transmission pan under the vehicle warranty, and I paid for the replacement of the transmission lines. Probably too much. But we'd see if it worked. | ||
Oct 201772449 mi | Pads worn down, rotors showing damage - just went ahead and had both replaced. When already in the shop for oil change and new brakes, they checked again for the leaking that had been seen twice. It was still happening, though more slowly. | ||

Feb 201877602 mi | Dealer replaced Automatic Transmission hoses at no charge, given earlier work. Now we see if it's still leaking. Brought the car back a couple of weeks later, and yes, it sill was. | ||
Mar 201877500 miUS $100 | Installed another part (I'm blanking) - and no, it still didn't fix things. Next step would require new radiator - concerned that somehow, the connection into the radiator is damaged. No sense of why/how, but it is still leaking slowly. A/T fluid levels remaining within normal limits a month later, so going to hold tight. Not sure I want to spend the quoted $600 on it! | ||
Apr 201877947 miUS $15 | Left headlight failed again! Replaced, still not sure why these keep failing. Fortunately relatively easy to fix, but... | ||
May 201879000 miUS $600 | The leaking hadn't quite stopped - and as the car was about to be used in long-distance driving, had the radiator replaced. Not at the dealer, since they'd screwed it up several times. |
