Has this happened to any owners here yet? Do you guys think it a fluke? I'm close to buying and this stuff just gets me worried.

It's Edmunds. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I don't believe anyone on here has reported anything like this. I'm sure the Edmonds crew really hammered that car from day one. It could have happened to any car that they drive.

If you read the comments apparently they have managed to break a couple other cars.

The 6 Speed manual is the same basic one as the one in the 350Z. No history of this that I know of.

There is another link there that says the transmission is being replaced.

You guys are crazy if you think Edmunds hammered any cars. Read their reviews. These people are better suited to Crown Vics than any other cars. They probably just don't know how to drive.
