Rear end? Diff? Geez I haven’t seen/read of any rear end problems. What was the deal?
Half shaft seal went, and pumped the diff dry on an hour long trip home. Got home and noticed the entire rear undercarriage dripping with gear oil.

I'm at 11,194 on my 22 ST, bought it new off the lot with 7 miles back in April 2022.

2k miles of it came from road trips. Been ZFG E50 tuned since 1000 miles and loving every single minute of it.

37,000 on my 2020 - ZFG 93 tune - drivers seat moulding fixed last year, just had the cat recall completed. Screen stops responding from time to time, but that's about it.

Do you have the newest SYNC software installed? Build 22251 Some older versions caused a lot of issues with SYNC.

yes I do - but I also use a car2play wireless Bluetooth adapter, so I think that may sometimes cause issues

52K on my 2020. Just had the left side catalytic converter replaced for the second time and also the left side flex pipe replaced. Wife is pleased that rattle is gone. Also had throttle body replaced and sensor on front axle replaced early on. Also driver's seat bottom trim moulding replaced a few miles back. Still lovin' her.

Crossing 80k this morning on my 20’. Brand new off the lot with 8 miles on her, tuned since 500. Few gremlins here and there but nothing major. She’s been a great car

21K on my 22 picked up a year ago this week. Been bolting on stuff over the last year in prep for the Loading of my 91 Octane tune this weekend.
Didn't do the Backup camera recall as mine seems to be working without the fix that breaks it :)

58k on my 2020 - bought with 56k last month. All recalls done. (Cats replaced, clamped Mid-pipe (did not fix). Ordered thermal full exhaust to replace the crappy mid-pipes. I have some weird rear suspension noise going over smaller bumps, it could just be my rear Shocks are done. Going to have them replaced since I have a full warranty till 115k miles. Might as well get it done under warranty. Before I lower it.

69k now.. And the 2nd diff left the chat. Same failure as the first one. The seal is just a symptom, the bearings disintegrated which took out the seal. I doubt I'll have this car long enough to get to 70k. Might talk the dealer into buying it before they get the parts(which are on national backorder with no ETA) take the hit on trade in, and get anything else other than this piece of sh!t But I'm on the hook for a $3600 repair of a problem that obviously isn't a "fluke" The first diff made it to 33k, and the second lasted 36k.
