So, was the TOB ever replaced?

no they wouldn't do it. I did try and it should be logged somewhere.

Well, poooo -

OK, have you checked the fluid level in the clutch system. Maybe flushed and bled the system? Attempted to adjust the clutch?

Also really annoyed they tried to sell me a new clutch during recall @31k, very nicely adult driven no burn outs etc. and the car has not felt the same in terms of the clutch since it came back. The first sign was it did no go into first gear as easily when coming to a stop.

GRr.

Maybe the reverse lockout plate is loose? If loose and out of place it would rattle and be hard to get into 1st and 2nd.

Quick update....


Perhaps my four-month long saga is about to come to an end. Dealership called me late yesterday afternoon to tell me that my car is finally ready...about to head out and pick it up. Wish me luck. I'm not even sure I'll recognize it....I think it was sort of a silver/gray color.

PLEASE take discussion to the discussion thread(s).

This is supposed to be a REGISTRY ONLY.


The goal here is to quantify and have in one place all the post-recall failures not a bunch of casual conversations that muddy the waters and waste people's time.

Although you do have a good point, I don't appreciate being talked down to by the likes of you. This will be my last post on this thread, happy skippy?

What value are you getting out of this "Registry"? Without having any comparative data knowing who had failures is meaningless. Are they 5% of the repairs? 50%? 90%? It is just fear mongering and misinformation without any real information involved. We don't even have dates for when the work was done to be able to see if the failures trended early in the cycle or have carried on. There have been no serious failures reported in the last couple of weeks. Is that because most are done, they figured out how to do it right or people just stopped having it done? Knowing why they have dropped off would be more valuable than just knowing they happened but we will never get that info.

I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS METAL IN THE OIL/OIL-PAN, EXTREMELY MUDDY OIL AND THAT A SENIOR TECH WILL BE VISITING TO FURTHER ASSESS. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE-REPLACEMENT. AWAITING FURTHER INFORMATION.

Failure: Engine
State: IL

UPDATE 5/25/19: Dealer provided a loaner and will proceed with teardown next week. Provided all parts are available after complete assessment, they're hopeful to have the repair complete within two weeks.

UPDATE 6/11/19: Still waiting on the last of parts to arrive. Short Block is being replaced. Expected (possibly), the week of 6/24/18.

UPDATE 6/20/19: One part remains undelivered. A Cam Shaft. They're now realizing the shortage and being manufactured. Repair is now pushed back to an expected date of July 6. Still have loaner vehicle from dealership. Really missing my car.

UPDATE 7/27/19: Work is complete and I finally have my car back. Warranty covered all parts/labor. Short block, engine seal and gasket kit, front cover, cam shafts, cam shaft geas, chains and guides. Transferred all necessary components to short block. Cleaned and checked heads for warpage (OK) reused heads. Installed new head gaskets. Sealed and installed new cam housings, cams, cam gears. Performed cylinder head valve adjustment. Checked valve clearance. Out of spec and corrected. Replaced all valve shims with correct size. Rechecked and verified all valve clearance are within spec. Replaced all engine gaskets. Transferred all other components. New fluids. A/C recharge. Health check all OK. Test drove 10 miles and verified repairs. All OK.

So an early repair before they changed the instructions. No doubt loads of sealant will be found inside.
