“We are still having issues with this stupid sbza blind spot detection system, twice now, first time we had fixed, 2.5 yrs ago now, at a $1000 cost to us, as mileage was slightly over the qualifying miles with recall letter we received prior to having both modules replaced. Those brand new modules only lasted 16 months or less and weve been dealing with same safety issues for about a year now, some days worse than others. Its a dumb flaw and needs to be addressed soon but we dont have another $1000+ to come up with!! …”
