Default Highest mileage HRs

Who has a lot of miles on their 07? Any problems? (I'm guessing 08's don't have many yet) I have 22k on mine, got mine last June.. Car has been pretty reliable for me. List problems with your HRs..

Only problem I had was slave cylinder recall, and bouncing tach (hasn't been replaced yet) other than that.. so far so good. Although after adding HFCs I get a slight stutter if you want to call it that between 2-3krpms. Not noticeable unless I floor it in a high gear.

So who has the highest mileage? List problems please. Please don't come in here with your new hR and claim, 2k miles, no problem so far.

i'll start the list..
1) itsjiggajames - 22k miles - Slave recall, bouncing tach

I have a starter problem but it still hasn't been fixed because the dealership has to replicate the problem. It does it once a blue moon. Well anyway I have a year and a half left of My warranty

I got my 07 last june too, and my name is James.... hah. Got it with 22 miles, I'm up to 23k miles now. Only thing I can complain about is the paint, I never drive on freeways but I have plenty of crap on the front bumper. Gas gauge isnt accurate at all either, spose to have 20 gallon tank and it will only take 14 when gas light goes on. Always done it, and fuel door sticks out a little.

Front cross member bolts worked loose along with front sway bar. Must not have been torqued correctly at factory. Only have 5K on my 07.

I broke 12k in my 08.. I agree on the cats. I got test pipes tho. And when you punch it I get a horrible stutter. But I'm getting when I get my catbck thats the same size piping it'll go away. I think thats just back pressure your feel. Otherwise I'd like to think I got no problems so far with it.

No noise no creaks etc when i was on stock wheels for 6k miles. After getting these nismo wheels every thing now vibrates and creaks running these wide *** tires.. Oh well but it looks nice though

You can't be serious about the gas tank? The tank does hold 20; the light comes on around 15gallons. And the fuel door is easy to fix; take off the screws align it how you want it, retighten. Paint on my bumper had many chips as well, but thats from excessive 100 mile commutes.. switched it out to V2.

I have the same thing happening on my car. Don't know if it's due to the HFC/exhaust, but I noticed that the slip light turns on on the dash when it stutters.... I turn off the traction control and it doesn't stutter... Try it.

7.8k on my 07
