The car had 75k when we bought it ....day 3 car wouldn't start (had no fire) .... I didn't get a printed ticket of work completed b/c the dealer fixed it on the house --- Service rep did say they replaced the ECU and something else (my wife handled it as I was out of town) -- Car ran and it didn't cost anything ... so fly be free.

I did the rest of the work by reading through this forum. I have been very impressed with the amount of data on this site.

153,XXX. Runs a little warmer than normal. I think it's just a electrolysis issue.
No check engine light, no codes.
