Yet another new owner!

i find it hard to believe a brand new car would have carbon build up so soon , make sure that car really WAS new

Mine had 10 miles on it when it happened and was unloaded from the truck the day before. I was told it was build up from numerous starting and stopping and short distance moving around the dealer lot.

That's the exact same reason my service dept gave me, for the carbon build up. I used the new-car delivery checklist that I found on this forum when I was inspecting for taking delivery and I did indeed make sure the VIN matched up to the window sticker to ensure it was a brand NEW 2009 model! I took delivery with 20miles on the odo. I got them to do a "We Owe" for my first oil change (i assume 3k miles), for free. They'll probably use regular non-synth oil. meh - I'll take free when I can get it ;)
 
I flog the s*** out of my new cars from the git go and they always run well and without issues.

You don't say?

My transmission was rebuilt as well due to 4th gear grinding. They replaced everything but 1st and reverse and it took them about 2wks. Cost was $3,500.00, Thank God it was covered under warranty. I think when my warranty is just about out I'm going to trade it on on something else. I Don't trust the tranny to stand the test of time. My car only had 21k miles and needed a tranny rebuild!
