ss on the tow truck
i had to put the ss on a tow truck to take it to the dealer. lost all boost pressure,k car would not go over 40 mph and would keep stalling and i have an auto. i think this is the 15th time in the dealer for a problem i am about to give up on this d@mn car. every time it is something different that is broke. does anyone else have a problem like this.

No problems yet in almost 13k mi. And mine's black. Is it luck or is it typical not to have problems with the SS?
PS I also have the turbo upgrade since 7k mi. Not sure what I'm doing right (or wrong)

It sounds like you got a lemon. If you've really been back 15 times for a variety of different problems, they should buy your car back.
Other than rattles and other odd noises, my SS has been trouble-free for 20,000 miles.

Same here. Soon I will be taking it back to the dealer for the first time to get the brake fix.
