Something seems fishy... I have hit range 5 (OOOPS!) but did not get into 6. The fact there is only 1 ignition in the last 3 ranges seems highly improbable. That means you hit over 9,000 rpm for less than 1/150th of a second. there should be more in the rest of the ranges if someone truly hit range 6.

I have heard of accounts of over-revs listed on cars strait from the factory. I would get a written statement from the dealer stating that they would honor the warranty with those listed over-revs. Honestly, its not that bad. I've got over 80K on my 05 with no problems past needing a motor mount.
