I find it hilarious that people still think that the 2013 Gen 1 is the most trouble prone and are surprised when mass produced products, especially new ones, have issues.

My early prod 13 was wrecked twice and totalled on the second accident before 20k miles (prior owner). It's been tracked heavily ever since and beat on, now at 34k....still on the original engine (never had the valve spring recall completed), original HPFP, original throwout bearing, original clutch, original transmission & original rear diff, both original rear axles (though they have been repacked)....IMHO issues are not usually engineering or build quality problems...

As I mentioned before, failures are investigated and causes found. If it is a defect it will be repaired, a production change will be made and/or a TSB will result. If it is abuse, or outside influence, that will be well documented...internally of course. Or publicly if taken to court. It won't be solved by public opinion.
