Head gasket failure diagnosed around 220,000km. EXTREMELY expensive to fix on these vehicles so was a write off.

B9 Tribeca Limited 3.0L Box 6

  • Automatic transmission

The head gaskets had been replaced 30k before we purchased. They needed to be replaced again about 2 months after purchasing. We sold the vehicle after realizing they would probably need to be replaced again....
