i guess this is another very common problem with them...makes me now agree they are POSs , mine had RMS & IMS done before
They definitely aren't POSs. The plastic rails will deteriorate over time (like most parts) and need to be checked now and again. Keep an eye out during oil changes - not unlike the ims - but instead of metal, you may see little bits of plastic. If this continues, take a close look at the rails.
But certainly not "a common problem".
