We had misfire issues. They replaced 3 spark plugs under warranty. They replaced one coil and wire assembly and four ignition boots. They also diagnosed the heater. Heater core is plugged and they can’t flush it. Would take a new heater core at installed cost of $1200.

Had to replace the battery. 5 year warranty Was on way to work dinner from home and battery light was coming on at idling speed. By the time I got to the AutoZone by Fin and Feather, all my fans lights were coming on. The guy removed my battery and it was all corroded. He hooked it up to the charger and it kept kicking off. So we replaced the battery... but my battery light was still on. Checked at O’Riley and is alternator.

Aug 9 2018

Oil change and tire rotation. Was going to balance tires ($60) but he said the front tires were cupped bad and didn’t reco doing balance. Went ahead and rotated. Before new set of tires make sure to get alignment. May need to look at new shocks. About $1000 for both axles and labor. This may be causing the cupping.

Took in to inspect the ticking on the steering wheel. Terry was able to see the same thing taking it out for a test drive. They inspected the front end and steering and there was nothing wrong there. He said it is something in the steering wheel itself in the foot closest to the steering wheel. He said it isn’t going to be causing increased deterioration or damage on anything else. He was going to pull off the steering wheel to inspect, but ran out of time so I just took it without him removing the steering wheel since it isn’t going to cause damage...just is annoying.
