Default Baby hit 100,000 yesterday

My dad was driving her around and hit the 100,000 mile mark. This has been a great car and has been running great. I do have a question what recommendation does any one have to keep her running smoothly?

Congrats! I hit 100k last year, I'm at 127k now. If you haven't already, get the timing belt along with the accessory belts & belt tensioner changed. I recommend NOT getting it done at Chrysler, I had it quoted and it was a couple hundred than the local repair shop.

Cool Re: Baby hit 100,000 yesterday

Add the water pump to that list while everything is apart for the timing belt.

My '01 is a still-young 75,000 miles, and I just changed out the suspension bushings to cure a clunking in the front end over rough pavement and speed bumps. I also replaced the ball joints while I was at it, since the rubber boots atop those were toast.

And if it's an auto - have the tranny flushed & re-filled w/ATF + 4.

Tranny flush ran me just under $200 at a good mechanic (not dealer).

Question Re: surround on rear seat lock came off!

Don't know if this is the right place for this question but forgive me if not....Today I had the surround that goes around the push button release that will tilt the rear seat forward come off...It looks like it just snaps over a red plastic piece under the upholstery. However when I click it back then lock the seat in place again...it forces it off....Anyone else had this problem? I can't see any thing broken.... PTpreacher
