If anybody has any input on what they paid for something to get fixed add it in. Maybe we can start a little data base of how much certain repairs cost. Let's keep this specific to Gen IV, 2006-2010 models.

What were the symptoms when your wheel bearing went?

I'm getting some intermittent squealing at low speeds. When my car rolls it's like at some point in the wheel's rotation something causes it to squeal.
 






umm let see... tail light (condensation) fac warranty. 2 left rear window motors fac warranty. t-stat housing (first time) fac warranty... radiator (common leak), 2nd t-stat housing, along with t-case fluid change, trans flush, front and rear diff fluid change, rad flush and fill... originally quoted like 1300 for it. all done at 38xxx miles. after going directly to for because the dealer was playing games about 300.

this is why it lives up to exploder name and i got rid of this piece of **** only having it for under 3 years.
 






Here is what I have experienced since I bought the car a year ago. The previous owner replaced the driveshaft, radiator and blower motor. I have no idea as to how much that would of cost.

TPS erratic voltage $119.00 to trace $122.99 to replace TPS sensor.

Blower motor only works on speed 3 & 4 $109.00 to trace $41.00 to replace blower motor resistor.

Rear wiper not working $119.00 to trace $350.00 to replace rear wiper motor.
 






I haven't had many problems since I got it over a year ago:

Replaced spark plugs: $138.95-this was a good deal.

Reattached rear defroster wire on window: $75 to diagnose, $63 to attach it, Total ~$138

That was the worst mistake of my life, I had it in at the dealer to get the transmission reprogrammed, and I thought, oh sure, they won't charge anything to reattach a wire. Well, I was wrong. And I didn't even get the transmission reprogrammed because the transmission guy wasn't there or some BS. I hate the dealer, they don't seem very human.

My third row right seat is inoperative. I found it to be the gear assembly that drives the worm shaft (stripped). I am on the way to the dealer. I did have to remove the entire third row seat just to get the bracket off. Took about a half hour and was a bit of a pain.
Ill let you know the costs. It does appear to be a common issue with these electric rear seats.

1. Tranny bump/shift issue, had engine and tranny computer reflashed with lastest TSB.
2. Shift column mechanism fixed.
3. Front drive shaft leaking (twice on the right and once on the left).


Truck has 39K miles and all covered under warranty. I possibly/might have a radiator leak. A few times in the last two weeks, I've had a few drips in the driveway. I noticed it's wet with coolant on the bottom left corner of the radiator.:(
