Back when my Toyota wagon was newish but no longer under warranty, they told me the second time Part X went bad that it was a known defect and they'd replace it for free. A pity nobody mentioned it the first time ... when they evidently replaced it with the same defective part.
Sympathies. We just replaced my Mazda Protege last week after 8 years of dealing with a recurring electrical gremlin. It wasn't a known problem, & no one could find it to fix it, but it would every 6-12 months short out & destroy either the battery or the alternator & leave me sitting. (The gremlin moved into other systems as the car aged. We were *very* grateful when it left the car alarm to instead play poltergeist with the audio system.) Trouble was, I couldn't in good conscience sell it, trade it in or give it away -- full disclosure = no sale. It finally had an issue major enough that junking it made sense, & we hope for far fewer surprises from our new vehicle.
OK, that was weird -- my reply to your *next* post & your reply to my comment just crossed in the ether. About a second after I hit Send, the notification for your comment arrived
