Seriously though, I didn't intend on bashing this car at all. If it came off as that then that is regrettable.
The whole reason I made this video is because I bought this car purely as a YouTube project car for my company. The purpose of it was to experience the DriverMod, keeping track of my progress to become a better autox driver, and also competing in the SSC class. Unfortunately, that didn't pan out almost immediately in the beginning. So this project took a left turn on misfire street and parked itself, at the time of this writing for 16 days and counting.
I just want dem eyeballz. If people stop paying attention, I'll die.
That's a really good point about the TSBs and everyone should bug their dealers about it. Again, I think this thread is the wrong audience for this, I really wanted to inform those that are currently thinking about buying these cars (the young'ns, considering used versions can be found relatively cheap) that may not know everything there is to know. It would suck for them to get into it not knowing the consequences.

This makes it even worse. You made a video for people that don't know the reality that makes the car seem far worse than it is. I doubt that even 1% of the cars had those serious issues yet you are talking like it is still a problem with the new ones. It is crap like that which misinforms people and gives a car a bad rep. If you want to be a journalist (even a Youtube one) then get your facts straight before making videos.
