Hello,

- Loud clunking noise listened to by the dealership, and the said it was completely normal... They said they just have loud clunky clutches? Anyone else heard this?

21900ish miles

Rattle in dash
Airbag sensor
Slight flywheel chatter
Grinds occasionally in 3rd and 5th when cold
Paint chips ftl
Summer tires were "cupping"

2 recent more annoying issues:
Just as I let off the clutch into gear there's a popping sound from the pedal area.

Vibration in front right corner at 40+mph. Need to get this checked out by the dealer at next oil change

Are any of these discouraging me from loving and driving my car? No way!!!

I think the mod bug bit me - as soon as the vibration is gone I'll scratch that itch

07 w/ 17K...got it used with 13k so i have no idea if the slave cylinder has been replaced. Do you guys know a way of finding out? What are the symptoms of it needing to be replaced?

Driver window has had about 3 hiccups not wanting to go up.

Tach stuck one time for about 10 minutes.

Some wierd vibrating sound around 1900 rpms cant figure out what it is or where its coming from

07 with 23k miles.

In the last 2k I've lost a wheel bearing and the slave cylinder again.

I'm starting to get annoyed with the minor issues the car exhibits. Every time I drive it I get over it, but its still annoying when its sitting broken.

07 Enthusiast - 27k miles.

Slave cylinder recall.
My seat squeaks when I turn.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the car, I'm literally in love with it.

07 Base
13k Miles

no problems.. i think.. Airbag light is the only thing

but considering i used to drive a shitty Focus with so much noise and rattling, there might be some problems just that i don't notice it


btw

Call the dealer and give them your VIN or whatever and they should be able to see if the car has done the recall...

28K on a '07HR.

Still haven't done the slave cylinder recall, but it runs fine. A few rattles from what I think is the passenger side door. Loose exhaust tip which rattles when cold

Went in for an oil change the other day, but ended up getting a major service. Need new front brakes. I was okay with just pads and resurfacing rotors at the time, but after some hard driving this weekend, not sure if the rotors are still serviceable.
