THANK YOU! I came back onto these boards after a long absence in part to ask about this ('07 4-door Si)... I have trouble getting into third gear. I try to shift into it, and it will occasionally "stick" about half-way into gear. If I don't notice it and try to keep accelerating, it pops out of gear. If I notice it, I have to take it out of gear then back in. And here you've given me the bulletin that addresses the problem exactly! Thanks alot.

I agree. I've had consistently high MPG. Around town I get 28. I average about 31-32. With 100% hwy driving, I get between 34-36, depending on my speed. I love it.

steering shimmy

I recently bought a '08 4-door Si and after 2 weeks and 500miles, later i started noticing a shimmy in the steering and possibly a subtle shimmy in the cabin . I do a lot of highway driving and this kicks in after 50mph and is consistent. Anyone seen this problem or is this a known issue? I am taking the car to the dealership next week, but doubt they would be of any help. Any suggestion is appreciated?

Alignment issue or bad tire, perhaps?

Sounds like cupped tire(s). Not a big deal, but unlikely that the dealer will replace them without a fight. Or could just need rebalancing; you may have thrown a weight.

Can a new car have alignment issue or bad tires? Dont they check all that before they pass the car at the factory?
