“Loss power on the highway in the passing lane so I stopped and checked oil level. The oil was low and found I had a major oil leak from the oil housing. Tons of forums online discussing the problem. Took it to the dealership where they have 14 oil housing kits they are waiting for to fix customers vehicles. This is costly and should be a recall item.”

“1. Rear differential failed before 100,000 miles. I was driving and I heard something metal fall in the back of the car. I pressed gas but was not able to move. After inspection and call for help, the part that fell on the ground was the rear differential. How can it just fall out while driving? I had to get it towed and repaired by a mobile mechanic. 2. The sunroof switch is faulty. Several times it has gotten stuck and won’t close. If it starts to rain, I have to pull over on the highway, cut the car off and on a few times and press the button until it closes. …”
