Default Wow our parts are expensive

While Lucky is getting his eyes done I brought him into the shop to have a few minor warranty repairs. Free to me but just saw the bill. Wow!

1. Drivers side seat makes noise when moving, not repairable, new motor and assembly installed. $2400
2. Lighter in center compartment replaced $280

These two alone were 15% of luckys selling price ouch! To date warranty repairs in 14 months $6700 and no mechanical breakdowns.

Past repair new gps, required new ML

Something inside my seat on my mid back makes a clicking noise every time I lean back. Sounds like something is loose (or broken) inside, maybe the lumbar support.

You can get the motors seprately, but it may have needed the whole bottom frame. Which comes with all the motors. And then the labor to swap all the leather and cushions over to the new frame. Can get exspensive.

my 6-disc changer is stuck!!! CDs trap inside.....I will try do it myself, if not, bring it to the shop.
I got an estimate of $120 from a audio/alarm specialist shop to fix it if no part need to replace

Just bop the radio on the side to release the CD. (Search for earlier threads on this.) It may only get the CD to the window and you may have to grab it with something to pull it out.

If you pull the radio completely out of the dash Just turn it upside down so the cd entry tray is pointing to the ground the cd that is stuck should come out.
