Rear air bags (if you have them) tend to last 8-10 years.

Frankly the list could be endless. The important part in determining what you might need to DO, is what has been DONE.

Exactly what I was afraid of.

I had extended warranty up on 90k miles, I would take it in whenever it needed work, I dont think they did any of that.

so what am i looking at in repairs for this now? Is there any good 3rd party warranty. Have you heard of Carshield.com? Are they good?
