Sorry, I don't post here often but I do lurk. I've got a 2007 TL-S with ~ 102,000 miles
I am planning on taking my TL to 200k+ miles, but have had a few unusual and concerning failures lately:
97K miles - new radiator. The transmission fluid hoses run through the radiator to cool the fluid & one of the "bungs" that attaches the hose to the radiator blew off on the highway. My mechanic was unsure what caused this, and it was a mess.
102K miles - new master cylinder. Brake pedal began to sink the floor. Towed it to same mechanic and MC was dead. Mechanic was equally puzzled why it died an early death.
Anyone here have similar experience with premature failure of these components? Seems like both of these systems failed long before they should
Thanks.
