thinking of 06

[fteazy98]

trying to decide between 04,05,06. wondering how everyone likes there 06's, or if there is any problems with them

I have the 07 not the 06, but I believe they are pretty much the same. I have found the fit and finish to be better than any other car I've had So far, and with only 3000 miles on it I have not run into any problems.

I love my 06. I have almost 30,000 miles and no problems. I haven't been to the dealer for any issues. Ride is smooth, comfortable, and powerful. I'm very happy with it.

We have transmission problems with our 06. None of the dealer TSB's worked to resolve the issue, and I have heard of multiple other 06's with the same problem. V8 6-speeds.

I'm just curious but what type of problems are you having? thanks

I know I'm having a couple problems with mine :

Hard shifts from 1-2 especially when cold
Occasional slippage at low speeds (5 mph) when going from a coast to accelerating
