[drivetrain issue] Front driver's side axle and boot replaced 
48000 mi

US $200
After heavy acceleration and occasionally at other times, car lost power. Drained/filled CVT fluid which corrected the problem. It really seems to need a complete fluid exchange but that was not an option for this car so I'm expecting to have to do this again. Dealer said the fluid should last to 100,000 miles but obviously time plays a role too.
