Bought used, certified, warrantied to 100,000 miles. Paid more for 2006 used knowing this was an issue in the 2005 model. Loved it for 4 years. Still love it and don't want to let go. Hit 112000 and transmission fluid came spewing out of coolant reservoir. Replaced radiator and flushed both systems for $1250. Now I'm hearing there's a possibility tranny may go due to all the coolant that got into the transmission. Is the vehicle worth it???? I'm wavering. I want to keep it. Buy a newer model and dump it before it reaches 110,000? Is that the answer? ugh. bummed. upset. Waiting to see if other 2006's start going the way the 2005's did.
