I give up. Once I get my car back, it is SOLD! Since my 100K warranty ran out, I have spent just short of $4,500 in less then 3 months. $1,300 was for replacing the propeller shaft and the front and rear bearings at 111,000 miles (also had the 120k mile service). But this latest one finally broke the bank, 3 weeks ago, the check engine light came on, and the car started to run rough. Made it back home. Dealer picked up vehicle, and stated that the problem was due to a failed oil seal at the ignition coil (no I am NOT making this up!). Drove car for a week, and same problem happened, Check Engine light came on, and engine ran rough. Had gone to far to return home, so I made it to work. Was told that I could safely drive vehicle to dealer. After dropping vehicle off, I was told that they found the same problem, replaced the seal, problem immediately repeated, so upon further inspection, found that I had zero pressure in the #1 cylinder due to a burnt valve! $2,500 to repair (!) and of course, no correlation that possibly the burnt valve was due to copious amounts of fuel being ignited by a faulty coil or anything like that. I should add, the seal problem was found based on the "Fault Code."
So, I think it't time to go back to something that will cost less then my home mortgage.
