I traded in my 2012 TC for the FRS and it only had 6K miles on it. I took a hit on that car and only got 16.5K for it. Put 10G down on the FRS so I only owe about 7500 right now with 500 miles on it. My gameplan? Drive the piss out of this thing and then get rid of it when it hits 20,000 miles.

Going into a new release of a car you have to expect problems. If you are looking for a car that will give you ZERO problems and run for 175K miles until you have it paid off making minimum payments and putting nothing down... then this wasnt the car for you bud.

I think you should work your hardest to get the issues resolved with another dealership. If it doesnt work... then wait it out. Drive the car like you stole it. If it becomes undriveable... have it towed to the dealership and demand they reimburse you AND fix all problems before you take back the car. I'm sure your oroblems will be solved.

Didn't mean it that way at all. Just having fond memories of a car that was the biggest pain-in-the-ass car I've ever owned.

As for my lack of sympathy, I have no idea how he drive, how he broke the car in, how he maintains it or how he approaches his dealer when he has a problem. But I do know all of those things can make a dramatic difference in your ownership experience.
...and because you have no idea, sympathy should be your initial reaction. Followed then by any questions concerning the hows and whys.

Say kyle sent you and he should be able to take car of your fuel pump at the very least. I hope you can get the rest resolved too. Ps. Please don't make me look like an ass who referred a crazed man haha.
Got a link for info on the new fuel pump? That's the first time I've seen anyone anywhere mention an "new" pump. All anyone who gets a pump replaced so far is the very same pump that may or may not get crickets. This would be all over the tech/recall forum if it is a "new" pump.

Given his level of general bitchiness and whining I can guess.

First world problems.

How is it whining? I don't understand. If you weren't satisfied with your product, you would be upset too. I wanted to vent and get suggestions. Both were accomplished. You have no clue what you are talking about, and if you don't have anything constructive to say, move along.

And for everyone that says stuff about being a college student, daddy's money, blah blah blah, sorry that I work hard to be able to afford it and go to school at the same time. Just because you or others couldn't, doesn't mean I can't. I don't understand why there are so many people that go into any thread involving younger people, just to say that there's no way daddy isn't paying for it. Can't you be happy that there actually are some kids who work hard and go to school rather than sit on their ass and do nothing after high school?
