What owners wrote
The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. For example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right directional.
Both tail light lamp assemblys have stress cracks and moisture is present in one of them. I only have 14000 miles and today the dealer said it's not a warranty item. Noticed it around 12000 miles.
