So I'm not alone!!! Sorry to hear you're also having problems, but kind of nice to hear I'm not the only '08 3.0 owner seeing these issues.

And I agree. I'm a decent DIYer, but I'm often dumbfounded by how complex repairs can be on this car. Like the water pump. Common issue that I had too. You wouldn't think it's too big a deal...but my god is it hard to get at.
