I bought my 2012 RT limited in March 2012 and decided to purchase an extended warranty rather than trade on a 2014 model.
It went in for the 28,000 miles servicing last week and today I got an update from the dealer on the issues I raised when dropping it off.
- Continuous operation of the rear suspension air compressor: Sourced the problem causing it to pump when it shouldn't and have new components on order for plumbing (lines have deteriorated and cracked) and actuating compressor.
- Evidence of coolant leak on garage floor: Hairline crack found in housing connecting to water pump. Some corroded connections. Parts are on order.
When I add these things to the items replaced under warranty at 14,000 miles (Exhaust system, MAP hoses, Catalytic converter, left side control module, angle rotation sensor) I am really glad I decided to spend the $700 for the BEST warranty.
I have the feeling however that once the warranty expires in March of 2017 it may be expensive to keep this Spyder on the road. I love this machine and really would like to drive it for 60-70,000 miles.
