eacallo986,

I purchased the car in 2009 with 104,000 miles. I don't know how many people owned the car before me, but I would guess it has the original IMS.

From what I've read, a car with at least 50,000 miles would have had an IMS failure by now. Personally if I were you, and I am not you, I would not change out my IMS. However, if replacing it eliminates your worries then go ahead and do it.

Thanks for sharing your story and info. Always makes me feel good to hear from owners with plenty of mile on their car and have had no problems with the IMS.
