I'm on 33rd days too. I thought you got yours replaced earlier than I did.
I put 1300 miles, 92 octane Chevron, temperature is low 80s during the day.
Still no chirp.

This is the definition of a recurring problem. Sure, it's not impairing the function, but it IS impairing the value.

It's an acknowledged problem. If the company had just declared it a normal operating condition and never issued a TSB, I'd agree with you.

Edit: If you read the requirements of FL Lemon Law which I posted, it never says that the car has to be out of commission. Ever.

if it totals up to 30 days then its a lemon law.

Scheduled to get my TSB done on Thursday. I will post up the outcome when I get some miles on the new setup.

Do you normally use Shell V-Power? Notice any difference, other than chirping, with
American gas? I'm curious if you get a noticeable drop in mileage, or power. I almost want to go on a road trip just to try some pure 93 octane.

Muaddib · 06-25-2013, 08:01 PM

Up here i only use Chevron 94 octane which is ethanol free.

You can get 93 octane at Sam's Club there? Man, you guys on the east coast are spoiled.

We've got 93 octane all over Austin, TX. Costco, Sams, Shell, Chevron, take your pick, it's most likely 93 until you start going to the smaller cities.

Still doesn't mean there's no ethanol.

I'd really like to fill my tank with e0 but driving 35 miles to get it turns me away from doing it.

I guess that is true, I have no 93 octane but I do have no ethanol at 3 stations in town. Lucky for me, one is on the way home from work.

I am on my second tank with the green dot pump, still no crickets.

Fett4Real · 06-26-2013, 09:39 AM

Called the dealer yesterday...first person to report to the dealer here about the chirp...either others dont know...dont care or since they only have sold a few of them they got lucky? I gotta bring it up there while its chirping so they can verify...

My pump was replaced with the new revised version a week ago. The chirps were gone at first and are now slowly coming back. By that I mean, they are there but not as loud.
