Congrats on reaching the milestone! Just curious, but in those ten years, did anything need to be repaired or replaced?

The water pump on these early models is known to leak. A few early models have also suffered from the starter grinding when cold issue I experienced. I believe the steering rack went early because of a minor collision my car was in early in its life. Luckily, it was still under warranty at the time, so it was replaced by the dealership at no cost to me. The car has never left me stranded, always fired up and taken me wherever I've needed to go. |

At 165,000 miles mine has had: Waterpump Exhaust Battery Alternator Clutch Belt x2 (i had a squeaky DAYCO belt i swapped for another one after my OEM one got replaced at 90K) I also did a front end collision repair with the front end from a donor vehicle - bumper/rad support/radiator/assorted plastic bits.

Nice. We'll see you in 2028 at 200,000 miles and maybe even 2038 at 300,000 if you keep away from the salt.

Nice, I have a 2008 with 208K Miles (358K KM) on it and it's needed almost nothing but wear items like tires, belts, light bulbs, brakes, just did struts and shocks on all 4 corners as I had a busted spring on on strut and it wouldn't pass safety this year for that reason. and I had to have the muffler and mid pipe repaired from rust/rot. I bought it with 80K and added the 128K since in 4 years.

earn-diz - Based on what I read on this website, the VIN on my car also contains one of those bad Aisin water pumps as well. I look under my hood every so often to check for the pink spray. So far, so good. I hope I get lucky and never have to replace the water pump. Anyway, glad you got the steering rack replaced for free, because I'm sure that wouldn't have been a cheap repair if you had to pay for it yourself.
Maritime - Whoa, that's a lot of miles! But that's really awesome that you only had typical expected wear items. |

You're right about the steering rack. I was literally in the last days of the extended warranty and snuck under like my name was Indiana Jones. Would have been around $1200-$1500 for the parts. My body shop owner buddy said he can get rebuilt racks for around $400 but when you add labor, it's still a pretty penny. |

I'm nowhere close to 100,000 miles, but my battery died this past summer. It was the original battery. I didn't know that a car battery could last that long. Since my car was manufactured in 1/09, that meant the battery was at least 9.5 years old. And it didn't even die all the way. The radio worked, just there wasn't enough juice to start the car. Called AAA and they jumped my car, and replaced the battery right in my driveway.

We have harsh winters here in Ohio! Maybe not as bad as Minnesota or something, but it still gets really cold.

You know considering it's EPS and not hydraulic power steering you might well get away with just a plain old used one from the scrapyard and just sticking some new track rods on it. There isn't a whole lot to go wrong in them. Main killer on that job is dropping the sub-frame. Especially if its rusty.

First time I took it in they lubed some parts but the sound returned. After further investigation, they said the steering rack was the problem. Replaced under warranty and whistle/whine was gone. When the car was only about 3 months old, I was parked behind a friend's rather large SUV and she went to leave, didn't notice I was behind her and backed into my car. After the rack replacement, I assumed that hit (while parked with steering lock engaged) might have started it and the subsequent years of driving with heavy, over-sized wheels finished the job. Who really knows, could have just been a dud rack. |

I've had to replace the battery twice. Florida summers and it didn't like traveling across the ocean to HI. Replace tires a several years ago. Belt has been replaced and windshield wipers, both front and back. I change the oil when it is time to change. A funny note, as I was traveling from FL to CA to take my Yarrie to shipped, the check engine light came and I couldn't figure out why, I just happen to look at the change oil sticker on the my window and it was saying it needed to change oil. I did that as soon as my Yarrie got to HI. My little hatch back lives up to its station wagon ancestry. Took things to UPS to be delivered to HI and then moved to new apartment just a few weeks ago. She is a keeper.
