What owners wrote
We were driving on a city street and we started to smell burned plastic, we pulled over and the seat where my 3 month old baby in her car seat started to smoke, I immediately took the car seat out and flames started to come out from behind the seat, police and fire department came and extinguished the fire, fire department told me it's a electrical related fire.they are no seat warmers on the rear seats.
Truck shakes at speeds above 55 MPH. At 65 MPH my phone will fly off the magnet mount on the windshield; water and ice shake as if boiling at 70 MPH and above. Sometimes the vehicle feels like it is coming apart it shakes so hard. When the vehicle was two months old it stopped on a city street in arlington va and was undriveable. After a timeout period of 10-15 minutes it was driveable but at 10 MPH it whined as if the transmission or engine was going to blow up.
