So, my love/hate relationship with the Evo X continues.

• Looks like somebody took a shotgun to the rear door area due to rock chips
• Seats constantly coming apart (fixed by an upholstery shop)
• Interior C pillar coverings randomly falling off
• Rattle in dash, near windshield, that neither I or the dealer can find. It's driving me crazy.
• Rattle under steering wheel that was 2 nuts that weren't even finger tight.
• Car hesitates at 5K RPM. Stealership refuses to reflash
• MAF is blown right now. Driving round in limp mode until I can get it taken care of
• 2nd & 3rd gear still grind. Stealership says nothing is wrong
• Car still smells like burnt clutch everytime I get on the gas in earnest
• Is it really this slow?
• Had the hood latch recall done (although mine was fine) and now the plastics down there don't fit right

There's a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting too. I know I'm going to hear, "it's an Evo, you have to expect these things," but I never had any of these problems with either of my 2 previous Evos, one of which was a new '03.

So, my Evo's gift to me for today?



It's difficult to see and I'd just pushed it back in to place when I took the pic but the A-pillar plastic is now hanging off.

 

40,000 miles, purchased in February '08 and the only issue I have is rattles.

Definitely something wrong with just your car.

 

i dont have any issues with my X except the paint sucks.

 

So, my car is the only car that suffers from the 5K hesitation, MAF issues, dash rattle, 2nd/3rd gear grind, and has the seats falling apart. Really? Hey, I bought mine in February too; we're special.

 

lemmon law!!

 

See bold

 

LOL I bought mine over a year ago and not one rattle or problem with it I guess I got a good one for I hear people complain all the time about it I'm glad its not me.

 

Can't lemon Law it because you need to have the same problem 3 times. Everytime I take it in I ask them to fix the hesitation but they always state they can't reproduce the problem. Therefore, as far as everyone is concerned, I'm just imagining it and there isn't actually a problem, regardless of whether or not there exists a TSB for the exact same problem.

 

You see, I don't believe that. The gearbox is notchy, the paint is terrible, all of them came with a horrible tune and there is a design problem with the seats. Unless the stealership fixed all of that before you bought it then you will have experienced at least one of those.

 

the G damn glovebox is driving me crazy going to dealership later this week
car is grissly slow. needs a tune

and 1 problem i had since i bought the car spare key does not work
went to stealership 3 times no key wants to sync with the car except the 1.

 

Your car must have been built on a friday when everyone can't wait for the weekend.

 

I gotta take a picture of my C-pillar being held by packing tape. It's falling off just like your A-pillar. I have to push it everyday to put it back but it always comes off

Gotta take it to the dealer sometime this week.

 

Yeah, my C pillars randomly fall off too .

 

Maybe my X is an exception to the rule but the only issue I really have is the cheap *** floormats and the seats coming apart in the infamous location. Other than that, no real issues.

 

my 2nd AND 3rd gear grind all the time unless i shift a certain way....

weird thing is that everyone else about 5 PErsons.. who have drivin my car "friend and co-workes btw" and did not let them know about the problem"2nd and 3rd" I then ask them is ther anything wrong with the car??? the answer is always NO NO NO greabox "NO" cluch "NO" it "shift smooth" lol....


main reason I haven't tooken it to the stearship^^^^ everything is else perfect no seat problem no rattle etc.

my car now has 1.5 k and it's still slow so it ain't getting any faster bro
