Head gasket leak. Common problem with this SUV. Local lr repair said $1650 - $2500. Head gaskets on this engine can go out every 35K. Coolant leaks from the back of the cylinder head. Not detrimental, but can cause the constant smell of coolant. No puddles. My coolant level drops about a quart a month. Hardly worth $1650 to repair.

Power steering pump failed a few month ago and the warranty company replaced it in May 07 w/a generic pump. 2 weeks later it failed again, but this time ruined the reservoir and radiator, so those items had to be replaced as well. The dealer replaced w/ a lr pspump, but it failed. So they replaced it with another, but it failed one week later. The warranty company approved an engine replacement, which was completed. I had the car one day and it was returned to lr B/C it was making a horrible noise. Lr replaced the rack and pinion steering. I drove the car for one week and the power steering pump failed while I was driving and I could not steer the vehicle. Lr towed the car and replaced the ps pump again. I just picked it up yesterday.
