    I really hope Ford addresses this issue properly, and soon. Even with the known problems, I still want one.

    I had heard that most of the issues were tied to a certain production run. Not sure exactly of the timeframe though.

    I guess the A4 in the GTO was a quality piece ?

    I haven't seen one last 36,000 miles without a rebuild.

    All Internet hype.

    Seems to be associated with 1 group of trannys.

    Ouch man. Just saying that in my 6 years on here I may have seen some things that lead me to believe certain members may or may not be happy with the build location

    Read about 2009-2011 VW TDi HPFPs

    You would think the Germans built shit.

    Couple cars have issues and NTSA gets called.

    Imagine if 2011 GTs had strut rub.... ZOMFG !!!¡¡¡

    I love when the word GTO is mentioned every GTO owner enters the thread. It's like they got their own GTO radar or something?? Lol
