just want to make it clear *i* didn't post this in the repairing forum. it was moved. i am aware there is an extreme bias toward problematic Zs in the repairing forum (which is why i didn't post it here).

I have an '04 Touring 5AT, 12/03 build date, and no feathering yet at 6K miles. So when am I supposed to hear/feel the front tires feather? Am I due for feathering anytime soon or am I past the bad period?

Anyways, only "problem" so far was sticking gas cap that has become a non-issue since I started pushing the gas cap button more than once before getting out of the car to fill the tank.
