Thermostat housing is outrageously expensive and should last the lifetime of the car--this plastic item lasted 101K miles but is a part that should not crack--and really should be aluminum and not plastic. It incorporates the thermostat itself. Also had to replace the temperature sensor and seal as a part of the repair--the parts alone were $294 which seems insane for a 12 year old car--total repair cost was just shy of $550! It's a relatively simple fix but if I wasn't as vigilant on my maintenance, I could have easily fried the engine by running it out of coolant. Hopefully the replacement part from NAPA will be better made and last another 100K at least.
