Re: 2004 Crossfire - 52,000 mile Maintenance Report
Great post. $5k seems a little steep to fix a trunk-not-locking problem. Glad there is a cheap work around. I'm at 32k on my roadster - summers only - with original everything other than the radiator fan TSB work. Rear tires are showing some wear but should be good for this season and fronts have a lot of tread.
If car companies had the FAA looking over their shoulder like the aeronautical industry, quality would be higher. But prices would be much much higher. I remember years ago GE created the equivalent six feet of paper documentation for every aircraft engine they built. Material trace results, test results, etc. Imagine if you had to have that for a car.
