When they released the Chevy Tahoe. The Dash panel was warping in the heat on the parking lots before the cars were sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yup, Moto-P on FT86Club has Tada's ear. Very handy link to have. The panel gap issue hasn't cropped up on FT86Club yet, which I find odd. I'll look over my car, but I'm pretty sure there are no ill fitting panels.

Draco-REX Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The FR-S ad BRZ are assembled on the same line and all the effected panels are the same, so it's a possibility. First Year Problems. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 This is why I will never buy a 1st year car. My dad has an 08' Sierra, 1st year for the new chassis and he's had a number of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's not an issue with mine, thankfully. No condensation and the panel gaps look fine. I'll double check the gaps when I wash the car next, but I think I would have noticed gaps with 1/4" variance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Probably just depends when during that first year as well. Mine is a first year car. Its an 07 which was on the road Sept of 06. The thing is it is like the 35000th one made so there was plenty in advance to help catch potential flaws in production I would assume. I guess there are a few first year only problems, but I have none of them luckily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
