Well i've had my DFGT for a few years now (easily out of warranty i'd say, bought it for GT5: Prologue then didn't like the handling so it lay dormant until GT5) and have had a fairly decent run out of it.
But in the past few months its sort of developed a few problems, and i'm almost positive it was before we got our kitten who happens to like chewing cables... (had to use electrical tape to tape over quite a few bite marks she made in them).
When the wheel does its wee calibration it starts off going all the way to the right, then all the way to the left as normal, but then after it hits the limit on the left turn it just stops and doesn't turn itself back to the straight ahead position.
OR It does go back to straight ahead, but the wheel is cocked 15 degrees or more to one side (usually the left). Which means i have to drive like that too...
But even more recently its been misaligning itself during countersteer maneuvers... So i start the race with it pointing straight ahead, then get into a big slide at some stage during the race and simply because of the speed i'm turning the wheel back and forth it seems to maybe jump a few cogs and end up on a 15 degree angle or more.
In fact, last night it got so bad that the bloody wheel was upside down when the in game wheels were pointing straight! So i tried driving like that for a few seconds and then got annoyed and unplugged the wheel and removed it from the table apon which its been attached to since GT5 came out.
Logitec will probably charge an arm and a leg to fix it and since i have to save for my wedding it looks like i'm back to the SixAxis to play GT5.
