My X is testing my patience (and checkbook)
'01 X5 3.0, 135K miles. I spent about $4-5K on her last year with maintenance and repair issues. Wife was driving her this weekend and the infamous tranny failsafe light comes on. Wife says it is driving fine at highway speed and gets to the house with no issues. I turn it off, turn it back on, light is gone until I put it in gear and take off. No limitation on speed, but it seems to be clunking into each gear, up and down.
I really love this vehicle and was hoping to get at least 200K miles out of her, but after what I spent on her last year and now looking at a possible new tranny, I just question if I need to keep sinking money into her.
Even made it harder when I saw the commercial this morning for a new Grand Cherokee with 60-month 0% financing, free nav, and lifetime powertrain warranty...
