Replaced a propellor shaft at 59,000 miles 8/23/2025. Paid $859.00. Unaware this could have been repaired and covorerd by a manufacturers warrantee. Six months later my mechanic(1) and car dealer(2) recommend a body control module and possible rear differential replacement estimated between $1500-$3500. This vehicle still has less than 69000. This has been a hardship after purchasing a newer vehicle so I could have fewer repairs to my budget.
