April 2026 FireInjury

I bought my car brand new with 49 miles on it. From the first day it has been giving me a service rear camera system error, the entire dash will completely blackout on me and takes a while to come back on and my car was slipping while shifting from park to reverse and reverse to drive. With almost 65k miles on it, I started to get a service AWD, service power steering with a faulty power steering issue while driving, my car randomly won't start, despite the battery and alternator all being good.
