It's a 2009 and it has the dreaded ECU whine that can be present on that year and some of the '10s.

Basically it's a high-pitched whine like a dog whistle whenever the car is on. It's enough to give you a headache.

Was coming up on 36k miles, so I had to get it in there before the warranty ran out.

I told them what it was, but they had to go through the motions. The part just came in today, and apparently they're still installing it.

The best thing is that the car is also eating oil like a champ... about a quart ever thousand miles or so. So, I get to go through this alllll over again. Wheee!

Whatever, it's worth it.
