I remember I used to have a problem with power steering fluid. I always had to refill the power steering fluid. However around 80k miles i had to replace the whole power steering hose. My cd player used to not work either. But the problem went away after i had my batter replaced and had to put in the security code the radio. weird....

The ps lower line is still in warentee. I come across 1 ps lower hose a day. Also, check your ps reservoir seal, they like to leak too. As for the rear latch, I replace a few of them, they are somewhat of a common problem with door latches as well.

Renato, you can change the trans fluid at 60k. while at it. I recommend changing the transfer case fluid as well. When changing the trans fluid, I recommend going to the dealer and ask them for a "Trans Flush."
