Anyone recently bring the 8 in for the recall Ball Joint/Fuel Tank Blanket and when you got it back have a rough idle and a problem with 8 accepting the gear shift into fourth gear?! I was pretty annoyed that the dealer didn't advise me of any work they did on the 8, I guess I should have asked.

Did that about a month ago; fuel tank, ball-joint inspection and they also did the "R" flash. Since then, can't tell a bit of difference. Car still runs good and goes like h*ll.

Yes, since you mentioned it. I went in for the fuel tank recall (which they said required an updated flash) and an oil change. I have noticed a rough idle and it seems to be getting worse. It also wants to stall and is rough the first time I start out in first. I am thinking about taking it back to the dealership about this. I am filling the gas tank up a few times to see if this is affecting my gas mileage. They also over filled the oil when the oil change was done. Geesh, I hope this isn't the beginning of a headache that won't get better. They better not have screwed up my perfect running car. Haven't had any problems until now.

I actually noticed the opposite. My idle seems smoother after the re-flash. Wasn't too bad before but much better now.

My idle got rough too. It may be in my head, but the car seems slower as well. I liked my N flash that I had before.

Ditto..my car seems slower after the recall..dang new flash took out the "pep" But..guess we can't do anything about it until another flash is release..wonder how long that will take?
