Great to hear some good news from some of you guys!

For me, scion keeps telling me they are waiting for a part maybe ECU? But they have no estimated date for when it will arrive. So noone is working on my car, and it is just sitting in the dealership awaiting "the part". And the Scion rep beats around the bush about what is going on. She said that there are engineers currently working on a permanent fix and then once they get a permanent fix they will create the part and manufacture it.

Does it make any sense?

Im driving a Camry Rental car that is all scratched up. Is that acceptable?

So according to her, the ECU is just a patch until they can fix the mechanical part going wrong in the motor, then another possible reflash might come to set it back to "normal" with the revised parts? Man, I hope she's clueless and the problem stops at just the ECU...

Went for a group ride with a total of 8 frs and brz. It was interesting to find I am the only one that has had the issue.

Dealer said it was the camshaft position sensor. Had to order the part but I should have it back either tomorrow or Wednesday. They left a message so I didn't get to talk to them but I'm going to ask about the ECU also.

Based on reading enough of these threads across multiple forums I believe that somewhere around 5-7% of the cars are affected. My dealer sold 15 FR-S's and I'm the first with the problem. We're just the lucky ones who drew the short straws. :happy0180:

Same here. My dealer has sold at least 15 and I'm the first. At least we're getting it out of the way early

I hope so too.

I just sent a 2655 word email to Scion Feedback to inform them about my frustrations and asked for an explanation of the exact problem, in writing. Also attached pictures of my scratched up and glass chipped rental car for them to assess its appropriateness to most closely match my FRS..... Wat a bitch.

Throwing on my suspension, other wheels/tires on, oil change, alignment then have a trackday at Gateway Motorsports Park Wednesday.

Thats it, I'm showing this picture to My Toyota shop and ask them to use that number in their computer and see what shows up!?

I found this on an Australian forum this morning...

Cause: We don't know. We will throw parts at it and hope we don't have to buy back all these cars....
