            I think your tranny counts. It didn't leave you stranded but you were without it while it got fixed.

            I have had one break down. It was my hard driving that broke it.

                      2. broken tranny, had it rebuilt
                      3. broken timing belt, got a used engine
                      4. used engine blew, got another used one partially under warranty
                      5. broken radiator, replaced with new one

                                      I'm not even putting the list for my 95 eclipse.

                                      In my 2004 sentra, 1, the fuel pump went out with like 1,000 miles left on the 36K mile warranty. Now i'm 5,000 miles over the warranty and it is starting to go again. 😞
