Audio amplifier failure. Intermittent audio failure/no sound output from speakers. Replaced audio amplifier. No charge to me under warranty. All wheel drive system problem. The "All wheel drive disabled" warning notice/fault warning came on. Dealer replaced DEM pump, downloaded DEM software and calibrated DEM. DEM is part of AWD unit at the rear AWD differential/viscous coupling unit. My research indicated parts foot oil pump kit, transmission oil and Dem software reload could have totaled more than $375 and so total cost for this repair to an owner could be in excess of $500.
