I currently have 30,400 miles on my 09 g8 - I had the rear main seal and transmission flare repaired. Driver door made a clunk noise when going over bumps-dealer replaced the door striker - overall seems like a solid car.

Just turned 34k miles. Car is my daily driver since May of '08.

Need to get my original flip key FOB looked at before the bumper2bumper is up!

Had following warranty work done to car:

BCM reflashed due to ABS TSB
Front Lower control arms 2 times



That's it! Car has been a dream! I am very lightly modded compared to others on the forum, but I do plan on taking my exhaust further and at least getting rims some time in the next year.

30+ Months and 55000+ Miles. I love this car!

She's finally needing suspension work (OEM Strut bearings and bushings have finally failed), but other than that, problem free. No LCA problems or gas cap problems. She's never thrown a code/CEL. I did have drivers front brake caliper bracket that was loose, and was replaced under warranty.

Got mine March 09 and currently am sitting at 28,687 miles as I happened to look when I parked in the driveway earlier. Had the driver seat side trim replaced, the recalls (brake switch & TPMS), lca's, and a subsequent visit after the lca's where they either didn't put the buttons in right, or didn't put them in at all, on the front passenger wheel well liner/splashshield. The front wasn't buttoned and wore a 4" x 6" hole into it. Only took them a day to get a new one in and replace it after I discovered the problem.

I bought mine used with 22K on it and now I have 36K after owning it since Dec 08. Since it was a certified used car I have a 48 month/48K bumper to bumper warranty. The only thing that was replaced were front LCA's and the hood latch cable since it would freeze in the winter. I plan on some new struts/bushings/mounts in the spring because the suspension seems to be getting soft.

Not really that I have ran into. I need to get a gas cap for it though. One thing is that when it is cold and the tranny shifts from 1st to 2nd it literally clunks into gear. Makes me cringe everytime. Brought it into the dealership though which of course they tested when warm and they did not find anything wrong. I don't know how much was done to it before I had it though. I don't have any rattles in the front end or anything. Love the car and there are just a few small things I wouldn't mind getting fixed.

That sounds like the 1-2 flare
your car is not the only one that is doing that
look into the TSB/Recall section

I was wondering if that was what it was also. And I tried telling that to the dealership too. Maybe I will have to be more persistent.

Edit: I remember what the issue was. Isn't the TSB for a 2-3 flare?

Bought her in April of 2008 and it has ~43k. She's my daily driver and has been awesome, but not without her share of minor issues. Thus far, I've had the following replaced:

- Gas cap (twice)
- Front strut bearings/bushings
- Front lower control arms
- Original key FOB (thank goodness it was under warranty and didn't cost me the $150)

Overall, it still rock solid and drives great thanks to Mobil 1 oil changes every 5k and lots of TLC

It's a good thing you don't drive it regularly, you would go broke changing the oil every 2000 miles.

Just rolled over 32,000 on my G8 after purchasing it in May 2009. 32,000 in 18 months. I'm in the process of acquiring a beater, at which point the G8 will be parked for most of the winter and will receive substantially less use generally. I want the thing to last.

That said, the issues have been minor. I need to take it in for the LCA issue, a rattle in the passenger-side front door, and a broken glovebox (the post that the spring mechanism connects to snapped off; quality stuff, really). I also just refreshed the clutch fluid since it was really murky.

Other than that, it's been a great car. I still love it. And oh the plans I have for it...

Changed it before we parked it last fall. Then again in the spring from sitting and again this fall. I think I may have to start driving it in the summer and drag my mileage out alittle on my own car. I have 7/70 and I'm at 65000 and I have till Oct next year.

Sorry, let me clear it up. MY car is the Magnum with 65000 miles and 7/70 till Oct if i can drag the mileage out that long. The G8 I got for him for Father's Day in 09 and it has 5859 miles. I don't call the G8 mine (except on paper) but he says ours. I may have to park "mine" and drive the G8 to keep the mileage down so my warranty will last closer to Oct. and put a few miles on the G8 to see if we have any issues.

March 15, 2008...right after you Ray. I have about 29k miles.

Mine was the first "memory steer", i.e., collapsed strut car in the midwest. So, dealer has replaced the steering box (early guessing), struts/bearings, LCAs, rear main seal, and a few other items. Luckily, I live about 2 miles from the dealer and they always give me a loaner....:)

Still the best car I have ever owned, although my 84 HO Z28 was a close second.

spring of 2011 - had the sunroof wind deflector updated with new part (much better now)
2010 - 2nd attempt to eliminate the squeak in the A/C when it opens/closes the recirc door (much better.. but still there intermittently)
2009 - 1st attempt to eliminate the squeak in the A/C when it opens/closes the recirc door (better.. but came back)
2009 - Summer - both front wheel bearings replaced
2009 - Spring - 1 week after delivery - fixed problem with a short in the fog light circuit that was preventing both from coming on

I just passed 45k miles a week or so ago. I bought it in mid-September with 35k miles. I drive a lot and demand a fun car to do it with.
