This has got me somewhat worried. I only have 19K miles on my car, but it is three years old and out of warranty. I wonder if AoA will cover this, at least partially, if this happens to me in the future since it is a known failure? Given my experience with them denying my last free service I don't have much faith in them (the dealer is going to split the cost of the service with me, however).

Mike,
Is the fix being covered under warranty? Any problem with your car being chipped? Anything specific to the Neuspeed chip? Hope everything goes ok.
