I am in Southern California but I live near the coast.

Anybody else have this problem? I have seen it on a few other RX's. My RX is still under warranty although I don't think this should happen ever. Must be a bad plating job by whoever made the part. I am taking it in today to try & get it replaced.

Not sure on the tranny change interval but you may be getting close. 34K on tires is a lot. What is the tread depth now? You need to verify wear on the brake pads. Flushing power steering fluid at this time is a money maker for the dealer & they are selling you "snake oil". Did they also suggest you lubricate the muffler bearing & replace the reluctor? Fuel injection service: see power steering service above.

Be careful!! On a car that old, after 200 miles, you could blow a reluctor. And don't forget, you will need to rotate the air in the tires when you are done. BTW, I have a C5. Save the wave! ;)
