It currently has the highest <br />mileage of the police fleet with 114,184 miles. It will likely have in excess of 130,000 miles by the time a <br />replacement vehicle arrives to replace it next year. This vehicle has most of the common issues that we see <br />with these SUV’s as they get older. <br /> <br />The most concerning issue that it has is the PTU (Power Take-off Unit) leak. This is an issue that is not <br />uncommon on these vehicles. Unfortunately, this PTU did not start to leak until it was already out of it’s <br />powertrain warranty. We were quoted a cost of $1600.00 to have the PTU replaced on this vehicle. This <br />vehicle is also in desperate need of new lower control arms , due to extremely worn-out bushings. New lower <br />control arms and an alignment would cost an additonal $663.82. #396 also has serveral other worn -out <br />bushings and a leaking motor mount. <br /> <br />On top of the mechanical repairs mentioned, #396 has a variety of rust issues that are starting to form. <br />It is starting to rust in all of the common spots that these SUV’s are known for. The main areas are around the <br />lock cylinder on the tailgate, on the inside lip of the tailgate and on the inside lip on both rear doors. These <br />areas will only continue to get worse as time goes on. This vehicle would be my first priorty for replacement in <br />the police fleet. <br /> <br /> <br />
