I've had a handful of TSBs on mine, but all were corrected with little to no fuss. Condensation in headlights (first 3k miles) Squeaking Brakes (first 3k miles) AC funk (first 3k miles) Sunroof rattle (8k miles) Trunk lid issue (8k miles) Coolant gunk (first flush at 12k miles, needs it again) Hard shifting/rough idle - TCM flash fix (12k miles) Rotors replaced with slotted rotors (12k miles) Haven't had any serious issues with the powertrain itself. Also on my third set of F1s, probably going to replace them with Toyos in another thousand miles. My first year averaged 11 mpg, I'm now up to a responsible 17 or 18 mpg. :happy: Also, some idiot in a small vehicle with a tow hitch backed into my car the day of our six month anniversary, so had to have paint redone on the left rear quarter and some body work to replace the damaged area.
Rick, yes. Some cars came with bad or poorly installed seals on the headlamps, so if you looked you'd see condensation/fog inside the headlights, like after a rain or carwash. And it was a TSB so they replaced the affected headlamps. No problems since.
Tam regarding this stuff: Coolant gunk (first flush at 12k miles, needs it again) They should replace your reservoir at the dealer! The first time they didn't replace mine and I took it back! The second time they did, because it said to in the TSB. Cheap Bastards................... Hard shifting/rough idle - TCM flash fix (12k miles) Had the dealer look into this one as well, but my ride is still doing it! Rotors replaced with slotted rotors (12k miles) A-Holes at my dealer told me since the car was over a year old they would not replace them! Brakes squeak....................
I'm friends with my service manager, and asked about the coolant thing before the latest TSB, so I'll be inquiring about it again. As for the hard shifting, haven't had issues since, but maybe I'm just lucky. And I got a good deal on my rotor replacement. I was past the warranty mileage, so he had me pay $50 for the work and I got the rotors and pads for free. Thought about a different dealer? Granted I changed dealers after 10k because I kept getting the "you're a dumb girl" treatment from my initial dealer. Now I take my *gasp* Dodge Charger to a Chrysler dealer and get zero BS. Plus my oil changes are $40-50 cheaper and I get lots of updates/fixes for cheap or free.
Car has just shy of 10,000 miles and 1 year of ownership TODAY!. TCM reflash for 1-2nd shift hesitation (500 miles) Squeaking Brakes (9000 miles) Pads in, rotors on order. Coolant gunk (6500ish miles...hasn't come back) Subwoofer heartbeat fixed recently...I think..never noticed it in the first place. That's it I think. Running sweeeet. Knock knock.
3780 miles (06 SRT8 Charger) 1-2 Shift hesitation TSB Brake Rotors TSB Trunk Rubbing TSB Coolant Gunk TSB Runs Good...needs Diablo Predator to run Great
30,000 miles here in 18 months, no problems right now, only real issue I have had was the tranny rebuild at 12k. Other than that just Oil changes and the Rotor and Shift TSb's
23,000 and never had problems except for the ASH Tray and cup holder cover oh yeah like at 21,000 miles and my Driveshaft came loose and the dealer had to replace it
6000 on the BEE in 13 months, I mostly just look at it, no problems at all, I flushed the coolant system right away and added that recommended additive, no floaties that we see. When built, the driver side, side airbag, was snapped in right over the SAT ANT wire and cut it in half, so they ran a new cable wire from the roof to the radio under warranty, only issue I've had Moe your arse is not that big to cause that noise, it might be just gas.
Just turned 10K! Just the TSB for the coolant other than that my baby has been a treat............................:thumb:
I am just a hair under 60k miles Bought 8/20/05 All my issue have been covered under the warranty. Rug TSB Trans dipstick TSB Trans Leak TSB DS Rear Window TSB (2x) Sirius Replaced Nav Replaced Things needing attention Cooling Fans grumbling Sun Roof Rattle Nav Enter Button <again> Rear Diff Seal Leak Those will all be covered under warranty as well ( stupid $100 dec ) It have been an excellent car so far ! -Robert
I just hit 13,000 last night. March 17th will be a year with her and so far not too bad. At around 4600 I had an electrical problem = no A/C - covered by warranty and just recently the tranny leak, also covered. My Zoomers however got nicked by the muffler shop jagoff who was careless and banged them on the ground then put it under his arm and walked into a tool box banging it again. He didn't think I saw that but now I have to keep up with the rust building up in those spots. I bought my SRT8 a week after my buddy who is now having a no power to the heated seats issue. Any ideas on that anyone?
mine seem to be taking a long time to warm up...maybe ill have them check just in-case they are about to go belly up or something....
