I completely agree!! I for one, am not a self mechanic except for minor jobs but those issues never come up!! It's always something big!! And even though I could probably do more, I don't have time!!
With most of the major issues now delt with, the only thing lurking I'm sure will be the trans. It runs too smoothly!! Undoubtedly giving me a false sense of security!! That's the thing with these cars, just when you think it's running beautifully after all the work, another thing slaps you back to reality!! UGH!!!
