Thanks for your reply - but expense wise, it actually hasn't been too bad. I have been buying the parts from Phil whom I found here on this forum. The parts that have been replaced so far, did in fact need attention, and I am confident that I have saved a ton of money vs. what the dealer has quoted me for the very same ones.

I am, however ready to be done with this issue, which is why I am asking for the experience of others.
