What owners wrote
Strange noise from the rear end of the car. It is constant. The dealer does not know what it is. The car has less than 200 miles on it.
First the vehicle has made a strange noise from the rear of the SUV. I thought it were just the tires but I took it to a shop and found that the bearings on all four tires needed replaced. Shortly after, we were stranded on a rainy florida afternoon at a stop light when the vehicle would not move.the transmission can go into reverse but no forward gear. Cost to replace/ rebuilt $2500.00, more than the car is worth. Furthermore the radio turns on whenever it wants to, it fades in and out of all local stations.
