I don't have details on the problem with mine yet. I've only had it for 6 months and this was the 8th or 9th time I've had it at the dealership. I think they may have just gotten tired of me! From what I can tell - some people have constant problems and others have never had a problem. Maybe you're a lucky one.

I had my engine replaced at 20k and mine is a manual. You would have to poll but I think the engine problem was mainly in the 04's but I could be wrong. I do know five or six guys locally that have had their engiens replaced as well so it's not that uncommon.

He's as bad as Can
Just a minor point you will get a rebuilt engine, not a "new" one. They do not ship new engines from Japan for warranty work. Then yours most likely will be rebuilt and put in someone elses 8.

Oddly enough I have an 04 AT with 111k miles on the original engine. Starting and idling are getting a little weak, but I added premix to the tank and it helped that out some. Car runs pretty well otherwise.
