  1. Have all 4 speed sensors checked. They will cause your dash to light up like a Christmas tree with codes:hill assist, traction control etc. etc. etc.
  2. I doubt you will improve the already stellar performance with aftermarket crap. I tried a performance chip which supposedly raised the horsepower to 467 (up from the stock 400) but didn’t like its idle or power curve and consequently removed it. Besides, any aftermarket chip needs to be dynotuned and no one had the software to accomplish that. Most of the aftermarket gimmicks will also reduce the life of your vehicle, as modern cars performances are already maximized by their on board computers. The only area I see as having room for improvement is perhaps suspension, but for my purposes, the 3 stiffness settings are ample.
  3. My 2017 3.0t AWD Reserve w/driver’s package, Pano roof has 125,000 miles. I drive LYFT LUX from 6 pm-6 am every Friday and Saturday night and also use as my personal daily vehicle. So I put over 3,000 miles on it most months, and basically torture it. Have done 2 cv axles, plugs/coil packs, all hubs/bearings, ceramic performance rotors, Akebono pads, dog bone motor mount. And having hit a deer also replaced the grill and shutter assembly (didn’t wish to turn into my insurance). Also replace fluids religiously including 4,000 mile AMSOIL 5-30 wt oil changes. Sure it costs a bit to keep it A-1 but it runs better than when I bought it with 10k miles as a re-certified branded title vehicle for $22,950…..In California as in most states, it’s still considered a salvaged vehicle. I don’t care, I’ve made over $100k with it. And most folks, unless fore-armed with what I just mentioned, would never guess it’s history. Thanks for reading!
