Thought I'd start a thread here specifically for bugs or quirks people have with their Elites rather then have them being buried in the other threads. Should make it easier for Thomas to keep track of them so improvements or firmware tweaks can be made.

Mine:

The steering shaft play where the axis shaft can move back and forth in the base by 1-2mm causing a clunk noise

Wheel loses center after several laps.....seems to happen if I had to do a quick counter steer movement and then the wheel will be off by 5-10* to the right. I've only played Forza and F1 so far on Xbox so not sure yet if this an Xbox only thing but I assume it will happen cross platform.
 
Audio Problem with chat channel:

Others have reported that there seems to be a problem with the audio connection of Elite wheel to the xBox 360. I have a Turtle Beach wireless X41 head set that has a mute switch on the cable from the wheel to the headset. That headset works normally expect for when I mute the headset the icon in the game screen flashes on and off. No big deal.

Decided to go wired and just bought an Astro A40 headset and the required mixer. The game sounds come through loud and clear and I can hear people "chatting". But I cannot get the game to recognize the microphone input and I cannot "chat". The headset icon in the game screen flashes on and off like the X41 in mute mode. I hooked the headset to the standard xBox controller and headset and microphone works normally. So there is no problem with the headset.

Something is wrong with the audio portion of the wheel that picks up the "chat" audio.

Made sure all the connections were clean and tried reconnecting the wheel to the xBox but still no chat.

Reported the problem on Jan 6 on the Fanatec website but so far no reply.
 
The cables from the wheel rim are stucked or are very short, see picture.
The slack is less than 1 centimeter which means the connectors are close to the bottom of the hole.
Some in this forum had the same problem but succeeded to gently pull
out the cables.
But I was not able to do that which makes it very hard to reconnect the cables
between the wheel rim and wheel base, I couldn't reconnect them.

Lets hope its not the same problem that plagues the g27. The optical wheel slips on its shaft thinking that a different angle is straight.

I do not have an Elite, but this has been happening on my GT2 for months via iRacing. I also notice it on the consoles as well. I also have an issue of it not liking to fire up when the temp is 16-17 Celsius / 65 Fahrenheit. Also an issue of connecting to the 360 on first/2nd attempt.

Thomas, should I contact support regarding this? I would like to keep my GT2 for 360 purposes in lieu of getting it upgraded toward the CSW. I am still planning on getting the CSW, just want to keep the GT2 so I can continue FM4, dirt3, and Nascar on the 360.
 
Audio Connector is faulty.

on one occasion the Wheel drove itself full left, when not driving in the game.
 
My main issue is there are not any alternate rims available yet. Hopefully soon.

The other issue is that my wheel shaft has the 1-2mm play as others have reported, but I don't notice it during gameplay.
