Seems like an awful lot of these could have been avoided with preemptive maintenance. Have we learned to inspect the dang serpentine belt idler pulleys yet, guys?! I replace mine every couple of years, at the slightest indication of roughness when they're spun by hand. The peace of mind is easily worth the $25 a year. I also replace the serpentine belt and thermostat every couple of years. And the shift coupler and alternator brushes at 100 K miles; radiator hoses every 75 K or so. Inspect mounts, CV joint boots and crank pulley regularly. No oil leaks allowed, helps protect all of the above. Replace the coolant, hydraulic fluid and steering fluid every couple of years.
That being said, my car has been hauled to the house twice: Once for a bad fuel system relay (passed voltage but not current) and another time for a failed DI (caused, I'm convinced, by failure to use dielectric grease on the plug boots, which caused arcing).
