That's a relief. I'm still scared I bought this car. Dreading the day I'm told I need $4000 worth of suspension work. It is coming. It always does.

Yeah...I was prepared to pay for it out of pocket since I didn't think spark plugs/coils are covered under warranty as wear items and my service manager said the same thing but he called and they approved it pending the inspector coming out to verify. They sent an inspector out to verify the issue and he approved it all on the spot.

I guess I don't mind paying for issues since I don't have any car payments. I figure I'll spend between 3-5k a year on maint. items which is probably on the high side.

After all the money I just dumped in to it for the facelift kit etc., of course this would happen, but luckily I had the warranty cover it.
