You have a car that is eight years old . I'm guessing over 100k miles . You're getting to the point where stuff is wearing out . It was all new around the same time , so it's not unreasonable to see parts failing at this late date in close proximity . That being said , unless you're getting gouged it's still less than a payment , though irksome certainly . Do you like the car and/or want/need to keep it ? The LEAST worrisome approach is a proactive one . You'll need to figure out a schedule of wear items , and replace them as time/budget allows . This will establish a new baseline at the level of the quality of parts you've chosen and get you some peace of mind (obviously stuff just breaks sometimes , but that's just as true for a new car.) Failing that , just try to stay liquid enough to stay ahead of it , and eventually you'll catch up .
