This happened to me about a month and half ago as I was leaving work. I scheduled to take her in for service and they found that there was an update for the transmission. So far, no more issue with that.

I do not feel so alone now with a high mileage '13 FFH. Today I am 63,772.8, approximately 43k is just work commute miles.

They have already claybarred it once before about a month-month and half ago....it's back. I am a little disheartened about it, I have never owned a white car before, always a dark blue or red cars, so I have never experienced "rail dust' but I fell in love with the Oxford White and had to have it. Once they repaint the front and back due to defective paint this coming week I will monitor afterwards and see if it comes back. I am very anal retentive and it's the little things that stick out to me like a sore thumb.

Well it looks like they are going to repaint the front of the car and the back bumper because of the bubbling paint on the front and the paint that is coming off on both sides of the bumper that meet the side panels. As for the "rail dust" I was basically told I had to live with it and their excuse was that rail dust happens everywhere and that it is environmental. Mind you, the only time my car really sees the outside is when I drive to and from to work. I park in covered parking at work and it is kept in the garage at the house. Because I have a white car I am going to see it more. They are claiming rail dust comes from the atmosphere. Now I am having a hard time swallowing this..............sounds like a load of BS to me......off to do some research!

I am currently only at 34.5 for lifetime. I am just under 10K miles on my car. I have a 60mi round trip commute each day on the interstate that is constantly up and down. My daily MPG can range from 35mpg to 38mpg. I usually get my best mpg on the weekends when I stick close to home. Overall I am still happy with my mpg, it's better than what I was getting in my '05 Pontiac G6 GT, my fuel costs have still cut in half. But I still can't help but be jealous by all the amazing mpg's that I am seeing here but I am also very realistic that we all have different driving habits and different commutes.

I took it in Saturday but have been reverted back to the Body Shop Manager. Last time I took it in I was reverted back to my Salesman, whom by the way was no longer there so I had to go to the Sales Manager; that's why I went straight to the Sales Manager again this time. It's like a game of Ping Pong. Tomorrow I will meet with the Body Shop Manager, if he sends me back to Sales I won't be as nice this time. The Sales Manager on Saturday was like "you can always trade in" I looked at him like he lost his mind. :banghead:

Purchased my 2013 FFH SE Oxford White about 4 months ago. Love the car but have had some issues with it since purchase. Paint issues with what the dealer said was "Rail Dust", had it clay barred down, but it is back. Also found an area on the front end that is bubbling.......time to take it back in. A couple of weeks ago I was left stranded shopping, had it towed back to the dealership, was told they believed the battery connectors were never fully secured when the car was built. Love, love my car but I believe I got a bad apple...
