On my 07 GXP, with 2k miles,

On any tight, slow speed, accelerating turn the tires squeal at any speed even under 5mph? (very, very light exceleration) In this context "tight" is normal 90 degree turn from one 2 lane road to another 2 lane road or turning in a parking lot.

As stated above parking lots are the worst (even non sealed) because of the tight turns.

--> It does not seem to do this with the clutch down and drifting, but then that's a higher speed, so I would assume that it's not the tires. <---

I would assume it's the dif locking instead of slipping like it should? How much should the dif slip before it locks? Is there a way to test this?

PS: get your minds out of the gutter on what tight is :-)'

Well, I recently took a valet job and Ive jumped on the opportunity to drive the two GXPs that strolled in. Both were 2008s (mine is a 2007) and both appeared to be on factory tires. Results: neither of them squealed like mine does. Not even close. Further proving I drove off the lot with the lemon...

Now for further elaboration on my car's servicing. First time fault code P0480. Its for the radiator fan fuse. Was a quick fix. Second time triped the check engine light but the service record doesn't say the code. Says, "Found ECM had an internal failure with ground control circuits". Third time fault code P0480 (again) but also P0691 this time.

After driving the other GXPs, looks like my cars goin in the shop yet again...
