    HEY GUYS, THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO REPLACE A SPEED SENSOR IN MY CAR'S TRANNY. MILLER MOTORCARS DID A FANTASTIC REPAIR AFTER IT HAPPENED. I HAD DRIVEN THE 10,500 MILE CALI ONLY 500 MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE POWER WARRANTY FROM MILLER WHEN I BOUGHT IT AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. HOWEVER, THEY PAID ABOUT HALF OF THE EXPENSES OUT OF GOODWILL. THEY ARE A CLASS ACT SO REMEMBER THEM WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY ANOTHER FERRARI.

    Someone tried to collect this data in a poll for DCT F-cars, but it is way too small a sample size to say with any confidence. I would guess only Ferrari SpA knows, if even they do...T

    Wow $12000 clams hurts! Good thing they split the cost with you though. Sure shows how much the new power warranty could have saved you though had you opted to purchase it at the time
    You also purchased the car. Thanks for the cost info though.

    Are you having the inspection done at the same time the DCT is being repaired for the new power warranty? Hopefully you won’t need it with the DCT being repaired but better safe then sorry.

    As far as the poll for DCT failures goes it is a small sample size but there have been a half dozen or so people post about issues here (and a few individuals had multiple failures unfortunately) and I have seen a few complaints on other various sites. I would say the problem is indeed worthy of note, yet no guarantee it will happen to any and every car at some point. It’s kinda like roof sensor failures might happen or might not. No reason to fear a purchase though, it’s not like 50% of the cars failed.

    Hope you are back together and enjoying your car soon.

    THANKS! THE INSPECTION WAS DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR SO IT WAS COVERED. JUST LEARNED TODAY THE FERRARI SENT OUT AN URGENT AIRBAG ALERT ON 11-13 CALI'S AND CERTAIN OTHER MODELS. MILLER CAUGHT IT AND IS DOING MINE RIGHT NOW. PASS THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Miller are good people. They emailed me a few months back, even though I bought my Cali 2+ years ago from them. Got it fixed at my last annual service...T

    Boy, that's unfortunate after only 500 miles. I've been lucky so far but I also do not plan drives during the peak temperature hours of the day. Even though I love the sun and was born into a very hot part of the world, I dislike heat. I prefer the early and late hours when it isn't hot or sunny enough to do me damage if I drop the roof for a couple of hours of driving.

    I also try to remember to warm up and cool down the car on every drive but I do wonder if I will still have to deal with a DCT issue at some point. I hope you are soon reunited with your baby... to enjoy new adventures. ;)

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH! THEY ARE GREAT FOLKS TOP TO BOTTOM. I HAVE DEVELOPED A NICE RELATIONSHIP WITH RICHARD KOPPPLEMAN WHO OWNS ALL THE DEALERSHIPS AT MILLERS. I TOLD HIM ABOUT A CLASSMATE OF MINE WHO HAD A FAMILY OF COMPANIES (PORSCHE, AUDI, MB, VOLVO) IN SEATTLE (BARRIER AUTOMOTIVE) AND SOLD IT TO AUTO NATION FOR $107 MILLION. WHEN I TOLD RICHARD THIS COULD BE HIS EXIT STRATEGY, HE SAID I'M STAYING IN THE GAME BECAUSE I LOVE CARS AND MY CUSTOMERS. THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR US FERRARI GUYS!

    Richard is a great guy. The old adage is that a fish rots from the head down, and so the reverse must also be true. Keep the faith, Bud, you'll be out some dough, but you'll be back riding in style in your gorgeous Cali soon enough...T

    Hi Bud,

    Thanks for sharing! How and where did they source the new speed sensors? Are there any part markings or manufacturer info?

    Thanks!
