What owners wrote
My car has gone to the dealer repeatedly for the following issues: bad struts, loose engine mounts, overheating (broken fan), "drive mode not available", radio not working, and now messages saying lights are out when they are not (code says "pending code") this car drives terrible and is unsafe and unreliable- it spends more time at the dealer than in my driveway - it has 40k miles and is still under warranty
Engine overheated after minimal driving in manhattan despite sufficient coolant levels. Safety features are defective (rear and side warning indicators) work intermittently.
