  1. I look through all the issues just YOU guys have posted with breaks, sunroof leaking and many other issues.

    Not many of these are on the roads but so many issues with everyone here it sounds like.

    The 09's had a lot of issues, was the first model as well. The 10's are better and only issue I have is the brakes. The brake dust leaves me to believe that the brakes are still crappy. Other than that, I think all issues were solved, reason I bought mine :)

  2. Mine is a little worse but not much. Thing is, with ALL of the cars I have owned I have NEVER had brake dust that noticable. Even in my Mach 1 when power braking it at the drag strip or on the streets. Very cheap soft material pads.

    I'm going to wash the car this weekend and see if it is just a break in on the pads or what. I am OCD about a clean car and this ain't cool.

  3. So here's a bit of good news for a change. The clunk when backing out of the driveway is gone, must have been the tie rod end they replaced. The PCM flash seems to have the rough shifts fixed, although it appears that the update has re-mapped the accelerator logic. I now have to push the pedal down quite far to get some decent acceleration out of it, still goes like stink when you mat it, but compared to before the update there is almost no response in the first 1/4 of pedal travel. I can get used to it, it's better than the crappy shifting. One apparent good side effect fuel economy seems to have gone up! Anyone else with the PCM flash notice this? I'll have to monitor it for a few weeks to confim, but seems like it after the first week.

    All 10's are like that now. My wife was asking me about the pedal issue of having to actually "put the pedal to the metal" to ride out. It is an economic thing guys, no worries. When you downshift and gain RPM's you loose gas. They added as many features to help in the hard gas times. Something to get use to, but I can live with it. Last night I finally ran it through the gears a few times hehe.
