I don't know if it counts as sorting out, but there never was an over-exposure in bright light problem and there never was a problem with AF. Both were just user error.
Plenty of D7000s had real autofocus issues - some of which were fixed by Nikon. That the marked AF zones do not match the actual ones is a significant design flaw - or at least an idiosyncracy that users have to deal with.
If that is the case, then every maker of cameras with phase detection AF units is guilty.

.. you are 100 percent completely right Stuntmonkey. What I can say for sure though is that I have encountered no autofocus problems with my D70 or my D300, especially not the later and I believe that to be the norm for that model.
... the indicator box shows the area where you will definitely acquired focus lock all the time, but that doesn't say anything about what happens outside.
Not really the case, especially with the outer non-cross type arrays. You can try to focus on a black spot on a white wall and have that spot well within the Focus Box and still not be in the FOV of the Focus array. Here is a depiction of the AF arrays FOV (in purple) for my D7000 overlaid on the Focus Boxes (in red)
Having said that, I do agree with the sentiment, Nikon prioritized sensitivity a little too much over specificity in the D7000 application. We all love fast-locking AF, Nikon probably listened to the consumer crowd a little too much. This unit, in it's updated form, seems to makes more sense in the full frame application on the D600.
I would note though, once you know where the array FOV's are in relation to the focus boxes...you can indeed be very precise with small targets by panning into the target from an "out of focus" position until lock on the specific point is seen. Takes just a little practice
