This is my second car to manifest this problem. On my '04 CC at around 13k miles, the right paddle shifter started to exhibit a very small amount of "play", maybe 1/16"?, ultimately over the next couple of months, it got so bad, I figured quite soon, I'd have to resort to placing it in Auto and avoid manually shifting at all. Didn't send in for service, since MNA and I were in lemon law settlement phase. They wound up picking it up just prior to it giving out completely. Now I'm in the '06 GS and after just 3k miles, I just started to notice a tiny bit of play last Friday and since then, it's gotten worse to the point of perhaps 1/8" to 1/4", although I haven't attempted to measure specifically. I'm scheduled in for service at end of week, problem is, they need the car just to remove the shroud around the steering column just to determine the cause and if they need to order a part or simply tighten screws. Anyone here experience the same issue and if so...what was the solution? I'm very careful w/ the car and do not "manhandle" the paddle shifters in any way, although I'd be hard pressed to imagine just how one would do so, and for what reason!
Thanks in advance for any insight on this one. I'd prefer to just bring the car in once either for adjustment or to install a part, rather than twice!
