This weekend my Check Engine light came on and at the same time I lost all power from the electric motor. No action in the ASST indicator, (although it seems to be charging ok), and a noticable drop in power.
I'm at 73800 kms (45800 miles).
So I took the car in to be checked this morning and was told I have a bad O2 sensor and it will cost $230 + labor. I think some people have been able to coax their service manager to do it under warranty, but I'm told it's a 'wearable part' and hence is not covered by the extended warranty, which I am now starting to regret buying.
To me, if a wearable part costs more than brake pads or a filter, shouldn't I know about it in advance? Note to car buyers: Don't go for the extended warranty. At least read the fine print first.
