A few guys have mentioned wheel shimmy. Is that like some sort of vibration coming through the wheels and possibly lightly affecting steering? I'm sorta getting that at around 100-120km/h / 60-75mph and am interested in what the fix is. I thought it might be my tyres.
I really haven't had any issue besides a leaking power-steering pump hose that got replaced under warranty and it wasn't major but luckily it was visible to anyone looking at the engine bay, I'd hate to imagine what a slow leak would have done.

2010 Ralliart with 52,000 miles
1) clock spring in steering wheel went out messing with the steering wheel controls
2) some kind of wheel that has to do with the blower motor isnt working and doesnt allow alot of air hot or cold to come out of the vents
3) ACD Pump is currently out right now (having rebuilt by ACD Tuning)

Well under the Magnuson Moss Act 1975 a dealership has to prove that it caused the problem. They have to show documentation the cause and effect that the mod caused the problem. If they can't, under the act the manufacture has to cover it if within warranty miles and year.

I'm at 86,000km on my 2010 Ralliart.
At 26,000km my TC-SST was replaced under factory warranty
At 85,000km my 4wd Controller Computer was replaced under 3rd party warranty
At 85,900km my ACD pump is failing and the dealership is giving me the runaround on doing the warranty work.
I'm displeased. I don't even beat the damn car up, I drive my talon for race days...

2011/2012 RA with 40k km on the clock. - No major complaints
I've only had one issue with the car so far; an issue with starting her up. The problem was solved and concluded to be to much fuel in the cylinders on a previous shut-down. Also spewing rich fuel smoke when WOTing.
The spare bicycle-wheel in the boot is hilarious to look at when on the car and kinda puts off the 4WD system to the point the car complains on the dash.

Online retailers offer it for half the price brand new.
Anyways hope your car is gripping like a beast again
