If I had the warranty I would have looked into it. Instead, I prefer to spend money to try to fix things myself instead of playing the lottery of given money to someone else to see if the problem I may have down the road is something they feel obligated to argue with me about fixing.

I found water in the E-box. Pulled out both the DME and the Trans controller. I found water in two of the three plugs on the trans controller. I bent the tabs on the trans controller cover and opened it up. Found more water. I then used a hair dryer (very carefully) and dried up all the water on the trans controller and in the E-box. To fix the cause, I sealed the rubber grommets which lead into and out of the E-box. I also ran a bead of RTV in the recess in the e-box lid and closed it up.

No problems with the trans or with the difficulty with starting since. I also replaced the Crank Position Sensor and the Blue DME relay for the starting problem. A total of $110 to fix two problems the dealer would probably still be chasing and the warranty company would still be arguing with me about paying for.

How much does your extended warranty cost?
