What owners wrote
Every since the repair of the recall the engine pulls not even an hour after the pick up the car had to go back in the shop for belt repair. It makes noises as if something is loose . I've called several times to speak with patrick never to get a call back. The care is in motion. The smart connection doesn't work it stop recognizing any device
The rear facing camera fails to display on the screen when the transmission is in reverse. This has happened 5-6 times since 01/01/2019. This has only been observed after initial startup.
