3rd Gen Problems Poll

Since we have people claiming mass issues that plagued the 3rd gen and is being deemed "the worst generation" figured some objective data may help dismiss or support those claims.

I can add more issues too to the list, just did the ones off the top of my head.

 

How about an option for none of the above

 

Yes, this -^^

 

Subjective?
or Objective?
Might want to check your Webster's.

 

Fixed, wasn't really doing my college best when typing out a poll. But you are correct.

 

Might add the P11EX cylinder head/valve issue and the ACIS flap failure to the list of options.

 

People who choose to take the survey, and those on TW to begin with, are in some way self-selecting. This in itself may skew the 'objective' data you're attempting to gather. Truly objective data you're looking for would come from a large, random survey of 3rd gen owners evenly distributed across model years and accounting for mileage.

That said, 2020 with zero problems.

 

You forgot the biggest one, cylinder head imbalance.

We had a timing cover leak this morning, was a 2017 so aged a bit.

 

Agreed, but limited here at least this gives some reference for those interested or the people who like to spout nonsense about other gens overall reliability / issues.

 

I checked off Rear Diff Issue... as in low fluid level.... by like a full quart. Assume this can fall in that line, or do you want to do another?
Thx

 

Throw rear main seal leak into the list

 

you forgot to add 5k oil or 10k oil change

 

same zero problems just make sounds like tik tik and vroom vroom

 

Before I came to TW, I had none of these. After I came to TW, I think I have all of these, but refuse to actually check; therefore, I have none of these.

In all seriousness, I have a leaky 3rd brake light. I got the recall a year or two after I globbed clear silicone all around it, and the dealer wouldn't touch it with a camper shell so I never got it "fixed." I also got a recall for fuel pump, but have no symptoms and have heard horror stories of those who had it "fixed", so not planning to touch that either. I have all the symptoms of low trans fluid, but it was never changed in the first 127k miles, so probably not gonna start now.

 

No issues with the 2018, 2020 or 2023 Sport, but the first month of production 2016 was a nightmare of multiple issues that resulted in a buyback.

 

Feel like this is going to jinx it for me. No issues other than being painted white.

 

Add AC problems please. That cost me $2k alone.

 

I’ve had zero issues.

I did select low transmission fluid level. As I checked it early on and found it to be 1/2 quart low

I've heard people complaining about their passenger seats being defiled by Applebee's wait staff.
