[QUOTE="McRuss, post: 1204904, member: 251"] I just 'stumbled' across this thread but may have something pertinent to add. My 2009 AE had the original 'spider' issue fixed under recall in 2011 with about 6,000 miles. I don't have any idea what all was changed out but I know the entire wiring harness was NOT. Fast forward to December 2014 at 54,000 miles. I was having intermittent paddle shift problems shifting up from 1st to 2nd and when the dealer couldn't reproduce the problem, they replaced the switch. I dropped it off on December 4th and picked it up on the 18th. On the 19th it suffered catastrophic failure; engine died and dash displayed the 'pin ball' affect. The dealer replaced the entire harness this time under the original 'spider' recall. The service mgr advised that the failure was caused by the 'spider' up near the #1 plug (seems this is the one that fails most of the time.) The service mgr insists that the failure coming the day after they replaced the paddle shift switch was just a coincidence. I'm not sure I agree (and BTW, the shift issue is still there...) [/QUOTE]
