Default 2007 owners anyother issues besides slave cylinder & clutch?

Aside from the stickied and known problems of:
-slave master cylinder
&
-some peoples clutches goin out

What other problems have you all incountered? I recall on my 2006 the back hatch, when cold outside, wouldn't stay open. Most all owners had that problem. I wasn't sure if there were things like that for you 2007 guys cause I realize that in this year the 350 had gotten a semi revised interior, new motor, new hood, and new seat headrests.
I know Bluetooth was intro-ed this year and saw some owners complaining about it freezing. I was hoping to hear some trouble spots you all may have that way I can list them and when I go in to check out this 2007 I've had my eye on I can play around and look at these key areas you all point out.
Thanks in advance.

I read that on the NTSA recall website. Good to know it's the only other thing. Thanks for the input.

Aside from the airbag sensor not reading light girls with booties, and clutch issues, my car has been pretty good to me.

For the beating I've given it, its doing really well.

Now I'm getting boost envy again which is very very bad.

I have a real stubburn shifter when I try to go in reverse. I usually need to engage another gear and then I will be able to engage into reverse. I obvious know that you have to push down to get into reverse but mine is so stubburn.

Pretty sure it depends on how much the person weighs.

only issue that comes to mind is that when I roll up the window it automatically rolls back down half way after it gets to the top, I'm sure there is a way to fix this but I've been to lazy lately to research it.

Yup, you will need a new motor, all under warrantee so i suggest getting it done sooner than later.


Only issue I have is not enough power! But that should be taken care of pretty soon.

After 36,500 miles I haven't had any real problems aside from the slave cylinder. Which was actually replaced twice because the first time they put the original designed part in and not the redesigned one. However, I believe that one(if not both) of my front hub bearings are failing. I have been hearing a droaning sound coming from the front between 45-60 mph. I suspect it is the drivers side, but it doesn't completely go away when unloaded. I am actually going to replace the rotors as well while I have everything apart because they are slightly warped.

I have the airbag issue as well. For others that have it, did the dealership actually do anything to fix it? When I went in they said that the passenger has to sit perfectly straight in the seat in order for it to register...and they said they couldn't really do anything to fix it
