Default 05's falling apart?

I heard from many sources that these 05's and even 06's are falling apart, and are in the shop every weekend...is this true?

Thanks...

I have had my car since last May, I have 8,000 miles now and have not been back to the dealer one time for anything. The car runs great.

The only reason my cars been in the shop is

A) Service Bulletin for bushings
B) Oil changes and service checks
C) when my parked car was hit by a truck


Maybe the guy you're talking to sees them in the shop all the time because people are putting so many miles on them they need serving every 2 weeks. lol

check your sources and FIRE THEM!

typical TSB's on any regular car...
and this car being completely new all the way around has had very little issues considering.

Had mine since feb. 05. 15000 miles.


Never a problem other than the gas tank and strut TSB’s.

Here is what happened to mine the other week. I was going down the road, and it all fell to pieces.

Take a look through the forums. Very few problems, especially for a new model. I'd get rid of those sources of yours...

for the record... Mine's been in the shop once, for 20 minutes, to get a clip changed on the vert roof (and that didn't need to be done, I just wanted it done).

After spending the entire week stuck in rush hour traffic, my car is on the open road every weekend.
