My car drives like shit now for the past month after the FADA "upgrade." Next oil change I'm gonna have them look at it again. No tunes, bone stock here.

Hmm, I hope I dont have any issues. supposedly its the "fix" to the older style disconnect FADA that leaks. Id rather not put a new (older style disconnect) one back in and have the same issue down the road. What are the issues you are having with it?

Low speed acceleration is not smooth almost feels like it's stalling sometimes and you can feel the torque going to the front even on a light throttle tap. The power delivery is just not smooth anymore. They reset PCM after the repair/deletion of the FADA. I think they missed some step in the process. Supposedly they test drove it but not sure how long it was actually driven.
