Stupid dealer. I dropped the car off yesterdayafternoon and they still havent even looked at it. A quick look to see if they need to order parts or a quick adjustment. I don't understand these guys.

So I got a call from the service department and they can't find anything wrong with the Z. But they did tell me that it was in sport mode and it shouldn't be. I asked why and I got "well sport mode is for things like mountain climbing". Next their gonna tell me that VDC should only be on during snowy weather.

The service department is completely clueless. Is there another dealer near you? I'd be taking mine somewhere else if possible... They sound like total idiots.

The problem with intermittent issues that dealers have to take for a test drive to diagnose is they dont drive the car much. Car manufacturers dont pay the techs crap for test drives so the techs go on the shortest test drive and if they dont feel it they say could not duplicate customer concern and call it a day so they dont lose time. I can almost guarantee you they took it for a 2-3 mile test drive, didnt feel it and wrote could not duplicate customer concern and didnt look at anything else.

It's fine that they couldn't duplicate the issue. It the stupid S mode is on response that ticked me off. I mean come on, they think I don't know anything about the car I bought.

I just picked up an '09 and my 5th gear shows similar symptoms. When I'm just putzing aroung it goes in pretty nice, but under just a little load (not crazy) there is a noticeable "notch" into 5th. When merging onto the highway in 4th in high revs, shifting into 5th produces a horrible grinding sound...... so I skip 5th and go into 6th.
Taking it into my local dealership soon. Let me know what you find out, so I can provide more details to my tech. Thanks

They said the tech couldn't reproduce it. It seems to do it more in the beginning of the week than at the end. Maybe my driving patterns play into that. I mainly drive to and from work and on weekends the z sits in the garage while I ride in the familymobile.
They said that if it continues I would need to have the tech go with me for a ride to see if it happens.
