Replaced an internal part in the transmission (forgot the part name) that the dealer had only seen fail one time and that was on a brand new car. |
| 134200 mi | Transmission would not shift out of first gear. Dash indicator showed D1. D1 is not a valid option. It should be D or 1, but not D1. Once towed to shop, the mechanic was unable to replicate the problem. Suspect bad connector or moisture |
| 147000 mi US $244 |
drivers side cv joint needed replacement due to severe vibrations |
| 34000 mi | I don't know the exact name of the part that failed, but it was some sort of acceleration pedal "link" that was faulty from the factory (or so the tech said). It caused the car to have 1/4 of its usual power and could not be driven faster than 30 mph. |
| 83000 mi | felt like rougher than normal shifting; could not replicate. Problem subsided and is no longer noticeable. Road test only... no charge. |

Tranny was making a whining noise in 4th gear and shifting early into 4th going up hills, resulting in loss of power. Dealer found nothing wrong. Symptoms remain unchanged. No faith in dealer any more. |

CV joint had unpacked itself, slung all grease. Was making noise. Cleaned and regreased. No issues now. Independant shop looked at same problem and swore it was strut mounts. Dealer proved MUCH value in experience. Nailed it. Happy. |
