The issue of unable to shift at 8k rpm

 

+1. Makes every other car seam boring and slow.

 

Owning a 458 since Feb 2012, my car has not experienced any serious problem(s).

With that said, my electronics "act up" on occasion, flashing something clearly not true and only momentarily. Rarely, but on occasion, my rear camera malfunctions, but only for a moment or two.

As in life, owning a "pure bred" brings with it problems seldom experienced with a "mongrel". Best

 

Well said.

 

The 458 issue was the adhesive in the wheel well that would lead to fires. Fires were rare, but that's what I remember.

 

The only problems I see is ONE F car is not enough.

Too many good ones to choose from including the new Torque Monster!

 

There was an early problem with fuel pump or line that's long resolved . A few glitches in the radio system . Otherwise the car is really really awesome !

 

This was a system wide recall in November (I think) for the 488 and Cali T? Mainly affected cars outside of the US (At least for the 488)

The only issue I've seen (and had myself once) is that the stereo sound suddenly stops working. There is a thread about it somewhere. It happened to mine (standard stereo) and the poster of the thread (upgraded stereo) and several others on Fchat. Seams to resolve itself after letting the car sit for a few hours or plug into the tender (what I did)? The consensus is that its a software from JBL or the Ferrari interface?

 

If you can hear the radio in my car there is something wrong with the car. I guess fcar has come a long way with this turbo v8 plant!

 

I find the wireless media in the 488 takes a few minutes to match up and start playing music from my phone whereas in the Aperta its almost instant

 

Hmm , guessing firmware update that Aperta has. Should be resolved on the GTB as well soon

 

I have owned my new to me '14 458 for 6 weeks....haven't thought about figuring out how to turn on the radio 7

 

True but sometimes it's nice to kick back and listen to radio too

 

My 488 GTB Have a weird noise in the engine compartment. They told me they will put 26 microphones to try localisé the origin exactly. Hoped it won't be something serious... Also the parking sensors doesn't work properly...

 

Didn't put clear wrap over sensors??

SV

 

No wrap. Going directly to yellow or even red sometimes

 

In auto mode it seems to be running a gear higher than it should
Anybody else notice that ?
