The dealer also said my left/right diffee\rntial axle seal is leading and I had a full diagnostic done on the vehicle less than 3,000 miles ago and there was no indication of any of this and no fluid leading in my driveway, where my car sits most of the time. They recommend fixing that leak and also adding a rear differential service. It's more than $2,000 for me to fix what began as an engine misfire.
Transmission & Power Steering Fluids get changed
on all your vehicles, every 3 years, or they fail,
& cost a lot to fix,thousands
Not to be hurtful here but all your talking about I have
done on my wifes 2004 lincoln
That is normal wear on todays cars
Your just driving it out to the end until you have to
park it & do all that at one time
I do my own work & lay the cars up for a week or
more a year to do those things as they come up
SOURCE: rear differential makes rumbling noise
That is not a common problem. I work at a lexus dealership and can attest to that. If you complain loud enough the dealer should "goodwill" warranty that for you especially since you've been a good customer. lexus sells a great car and will allow the dealer to warranty it for you out of warranty at their discretion. your powertrain warranty should be 7yr /70,000

NO! This is a Ploy to Screw you for Cash! They should not need attention at all until 100,000 Miles unless something goes Wrong.
SOURCE: I have only 30,000 miles on my 2006 Jeep Commander.
I looked up the maintenance requirements listed in the owners manual, and was surprised to find the following: 'B' service schedule is for vehicles that: day or night driving @ 32degrees F or less, stop and go driving, excessive idling, dusty conditions, short trips under 10 miles, 50% of driving at highway speeds @ 90degrees, towing, carrying heavy loads, police, taxi, delivery use. If ANY of these apply, Jeep recommends you go by 'B' schedule. (Does anyone qualify for 'A' schedule?) which at 30 k recommends what you list minus induction services (they recommend check air element , replace if necessary, and in addition to your list they recommend oil and filter (if over 3 months since changed I believe), rotate tires. Wow, I didn't think any vehicles required a plug change at 30k anymore. The most expensive plugs I could find were NGK platinum at $10 each. Don't know how hard they are to change, but even at that price (other brands just as good and less expensive) you would save $119.95 on plugs alone. 2 suggestions, check another dealer (I just priced 30k service for my 07 F-350, one dealer $425, another $575, parts/fluids to do it myself $125. So shop around, a private garage would be less than a dealer, or invest in a great service info manual (ask, and I'll tell you which I recommend), and do it yourself. If the Jeep is still under some type of warranty, make sure to keep all receipts to show the work was done, or when it's time to sell it, good idea to have records to show a potential buyer.

none of the above have any bearing on the failure of said parts in any way or form.as they are not even connected to each other.

Most of what your talking about is mechanical & has nothing to do with diagnostic No one know what diagnostics means anyway
Give me the car--- I would probably find more that the dealer missed
