Mine did this and it was the keyfob. Got a new one from ebay.

Check to see if they're even tight. My drivers side started leaking. I could smell the oil after it warmed up. Turns out almost all the bolts were inexplicably loose. Tightened down and don't smell it anymore. Gonna get in and clean it up and be sure once it's not miserable cold.

After 2 road trips camping, I've learned a couple things. Trip 1 was on the cheap, cheap. I laid down the seats and put a camping pad inside and filled the interior with tons of stuff I didn't really use (giant cooler, pop up canopy, large folding table, etc etc etc). Was a daily struggle moving...

Idk, man...you're looking at a lot of $, but 90% is just basic maintenance stuff. If the frame is good, there's value in that low-mileage.

Almost every alignment I've had has left me with the wheel at center being off. I think it's the play in the wheel giving a false sense of what is actually dead on. I'm not sure, but out of 4 alignments, only one has the car going straight at 12 o clock.

Take photos of the springs to get orientation correct. I put mine in backwards the first time. I also used, with success, the no spring compressor method. I was replacing the LCAs anyway, so no big deal. Be ready for a mess. That stuff in the struts gets everywhere, even being careful. Be...

I've had Wade guards on for 2.5 years and haven't had any issues.

I bought the same fob/blank key as the guy above. Gotta get the key on ebay, then find a locksmith to cut it off a current working key.

Mine was a combo of bad bearings and bad tires. While chasing this down, I also greased all the drive line points,. got an alignment, and put some shudderfix into the transmission because I have some vibration on the pedal around 1800rpm.

I tried synthetic and my actuator started leaking.

2004 limited 121,000 for $8500 in 2009.

I know some guys like to repress the hubs and I've seen some wanting to refurbish old CV axles. Is this a thing people do? If there's any interest, they're yours. Otherwise I'm taking them to the dump.

I purchased mine in 2012 with 121,000. Currently just over 200,000 and getting it its second timing belt replacement. Plan to keep it another 2-3 years, minimum.

Check your coolant. I had a leak I didn't know about and with it low, it struggled to heat.

I rarely used the knob on my stock unit, but I do miss it now on my Sony when I want to very quickly drop the volume.
