1/13 FRS
1. Taillight seal 2. Leaking valve chain cover gasket 3. Crickets (pump replaced 2x) 4. ECU reflash (addressed the issue with OFT before TSB was released) 5. more camber on the RHS by about .5* front and rear 6. Squeaky windows (didn't realise that was a warrany-able issue)

12/12 build date, I bought it 11/1/14 with 14,5 on the clock. Since I got it I've had the window seals replaced, the tail lights replaced and the fuel pump replaced too. I think they reflashed it when the did the pump. Now I don't have the wind noise from the twisted moldings but they squeak. The tails are holding their own and NO MORE CRICKETS I didn't ask for the pump to be done, I had brought it in for the squeaky, crunchy clutch pedal but they "couldn't replicate the issue" so they found the open tsb and did the work for me

Manufactured Date 03/2012 VIN xxx0272, picked up 05/12. 66,000+ miles.
I have one taillight with intermittent condensation (driver's side) that started at around 59,000 miles. Pretty sure I just need to pull off the gasket and clean it, just haven't taken the time yet. It typically dries out in a couple of days. Also had the fuel pump replaced, but not because of crickets. I did it at 59,000 miles before the warranty ran out just to zero out the fuel pump. Other than that, no issues. I would buy another low serial number one tomorrow if I had the need to replace this one.

2013 FRS, 49k Miles. OFT Tune at 36k Miles.
Build Date: 2/2013 - ECU ZA1JA01C Warranty Work 1) Driver Side Window Seal - The seal at the top of the door started to catch and drag on the window, which leaked air. This took a while to get replaced; I think the dealer forgot to order the small side window seal so there was a delay. 2) Driver Side Vanity Mirror - Super random! The hinge corner cracked one day; quick replacement by the dealer. 3) Steering Wheel peeling - This took forever to get fixed, I think a month? Dealer wanted regional / corporate approval or some crap, I guess debating if it was wear and tear or defective. They ended up replacing the wheel with a revised part with a material change, less pleathory more hard plasticky. I don't like it, and missed my Miata's Nardi, so I bought a TRD wheel. Typical Issues I have the crickets. My window seals squeak when wet, and has this funny streak pattern on the driver's side. The driver's side window switch rattles when the bass hits. I have replaced one windshield. I have a Safelite one now, seems okay. Atypical Stuff Tail lights have been fine. Coil packs are fine, and no DI seal issues so far. I think I will have them checked out as a precaution before my warranty ends. Cheap insurance versus a new engine. Looking back, I guess whoever assembled the driver's side of my car was hung over. |

Mine is a 4/13 production. 13k miles. I have a strange suspension pop/clunk intermittently when pulling into my driveway. I have crickets. I have a new dashboard from the center lifting up over the vents, and the new one is doing the same. I have tail light condensation very intermittently. I've only noticed it 1-2 times. Seems like only when I wash the car. There are plenty of rattles. I have had the shifter replaced because of rattles. I had the rear view mirror assembly replaced because of a rattle. Both doors rattle pretty bad, so I keep the radio on. The driver's window squeaks really bad when wet and rolling up/down.
Overall, the car has shown to have a pretty decent size list of problems. Honestly though, it makes me like the car more for the imperfections. When the car was new off the lot it really felt like it had little personality... no real soul. But now as these little quirks reveal themselves the car seems to take on a personality. Strange how my brain works, I know. |

4/13 build date, 14k miles. Rattles everywhere. Maybe someone had a bad month at the factory? Rattles rear seat latch trunk passenger side seatbelt panel driver seatbelt squeak front dash near windshield some control unit under dash steering wheel or windshield stalk navi rattling against the dash panel I tried to fix most of these but this still come back occasionally depending on the temperature or road conditions. Other than rattles, I also have crickets like everyone else, rubber dash on center a/c vent coming up and windows squeak when wet. I'm surprised that I don't have taillight condensation after parking outside through 2 New England winters. |
