Subframe Rust
Took the 06 in for the clunk that the forum has me thinking is struts and sway bar links. Previous shop suggested those, but didn't have the parts so I went without at the time. Tried a new shop...

Re: Vue Lifespan

Re: 2006 Vue - Start/Run Issues

Re: 2.2L Oil Pressure Light + Leak
Thanks for your reply.
The fluid color, smell, and viscosity indicates new engine oil. The light coming on and the low level on the dip stick confirms.
No other work was done, other than...
