They say that they have never seen anything like this before. 24hr worth of labor is what is going to take to get it right.

Has this happened to any of you here?

So how did you drive it? That is the question I have. Drifting your car, burn outs??? Just wondering to get the whole story.

None of that would have cause this ,the seal lip probably rolled over itself when it was installed it is a easy fix, sh!t happens

lol kinda funny how people would assume such thing. I ask the mechanic of what cost this to happen? He says, it's factory installs. There is such thing called "human error".

Just make sure when you get it back find a lift ,a can of brake cleaner ,a rag and clean off all the extra oil that stuff will collect all kinds of crap.

Drifting? Vehecle only has just over 2100 miles, still in a break-in period. And this isn't the first issue I had with this car. The first one was when I notice that the front right caliper had a paint chip. I check on the other side and it's on the same spot but they had touched it up. by the way, this is just over a week I had the car. Return to the dealer and they replaced it. Now this issue? Burn out and drifting are not even close of me of doing. This is my first sport car my friend.

Just asking. No need to get all butt hurt. Many guys on here will claim they had nothing to with it but after some pushing the truth came out. At the same time, since it's a factory defect that really sucks. Warranties are there for a reason. You just got the car, that when it was built, they had special ed installing your parts. Good luck and hope that this is the final issue you have. If not, try and file it as a lemon.
