Bought the 2016 vehicle october 15, 2015. Right away noticed a problem with the automatic gear shift not moving smoothly from gear to gear. The brakes groaning/whining and the emergency brake loosening. Car drifting/pulling right on highways and left on streets. Rattling from under car carriage. Popping and squeaking on right front passenger door. The A/C straining and not cooling car cabin as it should and the A/C interior switch not engaging or staying engaged when pushed.
