I thought it might be a good idea to have a central problems thread similar to many other forums. It can be a quick reference for people to see if others have had the issues they're experiencing, and how they were fixed.
I'll start.
2012 Rio SLS Manual:
Sounds like a lot but many are minor. It's a great car but needs some little things perfected.
When listing issues if you could add your build date too (not rego date) that would be helpful to isolate build date issues.
What have other people had?
I'll start.
2012 Rio SLS Manual:
- rattle in top of steering column - fixed by dealer with padding tape
- pinging on 91RON - unresolved, i use 95 minimum now
- jerky clutch/throttle issues on takeoff only - unresolved and changes with the ambient conditions
- loud rattle in top of dash/instrument cluster over railway lines and harsh bumps - unresolved at this point
- twitchy rear end over corrugated roads, sometimes in straight line - unresolved but it seems the nature of this solid rear end/suspension combo
- sometimes cruise control won't engage, it turns on but won't set. This usually happens while stopping for some food on a trip, leaving the radio on and driving off again after. I managed to stop this issue by hitting the door lock button while sitting there with the engine off - weird one. Otherwise you have to turn the car off, get out, lock it with the remote, and start again then it resolves.
- noisy pulley which i believe is the a/c pulley - unresolved at this point
