I've had a 2010 for a few months and no issues. I'm at 43k. I'm actually going to be doing a TerraClean in a few days to clean things up. We will see how that works.

It one of those hit or miss issues. My girl gas the 250 08 we bought new. It has 97k now and not one issues with the car or carbon build up.
