'11 Limited AWD
Hello,
My '11 Limited AWD is becoming a money pit. There are some resources on the web for estimated repair costs but I would like to share what my dealership charges. Hopefully others will do so as well and we can all benefit from some price-negotiating.

If you add an entry, please list parts and labor.

Thanks,
Randy

Front strut mounts on a 2014 Sport. Replaced at 38k due to blown/leaking front struts. Replaced again, today, at 55k for $475. This was out the door and included the rubber insulator between the spring and the perch from the strut. Drove 3 miles home and the noises are much better. I reserve judgment, though, until I have driven it a while. Pricey repair - particularly when it's happened TWICE in 55k. Bad business...
