In November I noticed one of rear shocks leaking oil on the floor (830 Miles). Took it local dealer and he ordered a replacement. Bad winter and would not take car out to get it replaced.

Had car in trailer from Florida trip so took it to dealer to get new shock. When they put it on the rack the noticed the other shock was starting to leak. Got the new shock they received in December and when they open the box it had leaked oil out. They placed order for 2 new shocks and were back ordered 4-6 weeks.

Anyone else had a problem? Anyone else checked theirs?:eek
 
Yikes. May be best to swap out for Konis or Bilsteins. Who makes the OEM shocks?
 
Now I'll be checking mine this weekend.

I'll let you know.
 
How about - Scott Ahlman to the rescue?
 
Blake, do you have the Performance Package shocks?

The Performance Package shocks are Bilsteins.
 
Yes, I have the track pack and performance pack with the adjustable shocks. Car is still under warranty and what ever goes on it will be at their expense.
May end up with a better shock on their nickle.
 
Scott only has shocks for the GT.

Haven't had a leak, 1700 miles on it in 13 months. Runs perfectly, had it on PCH at LA-Ventura Co line on Saturday.
 
No problems here on my '14. 5200 miles since July.
