I took my car into the dealer for the 15k service yesterday. It turned out to be a little more interesting than what I expected. On my way to the dealer, about a hour away, I had 3 separate incidents where the cruise control failed. Got a warning on the dash 'FORWARD RADAR BLOCKED'. The cruise disconnected itself and to get it to work again I had to turn cruise off/on a couple of times (talk about distracted driving!). So needless to say I thought this was lucky as I was going to the dealer. They checked and luckily the error condition did register on the computer, so they want the car back next week to see what needs to be done.
They did do the 15K service, but asked me about some other 'services' they recommend. Normally I tell these guys just follow the book, but I thought I would ask here about what you folks think about these 'suggestions'.
Air filter replacement (that one I am really ok with as all summer we have had nasty smoke from fires all over the state of Oregon). $40.00
The following I really don't think is necessary:
Minor fuel system cleaner. 99.95
Cooling system inspection / pressure test. 59.95
Lube caliper slide pins - Did I see something about this somewhere in the forum? 79.95 (minus $15 because tires already rotated)
Lube locks, latches, hinges, and door seals. 39.95
4 wheel alignment. 129.95
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
