NHTSA complaint #11390222, filed 2021-01, 55,000 miles“Noting that prior to this we only had one issue with transmission and we did the flush and it did fine for several thousand of miles.

NHTSA complaint #11619743, filed 2024-10“The paint on the hood is peeling/flaking and is degraded. Right air shock is leaking causing the vehicle to continually pump up.

Would have thought it was a simple leak. The port valves have been changed. Air is still not blowing cold. My vehicle uses the R1234YF which is very expensive per can. After spending $72,000 on a vehicle, you would think that it would not be failing so soon. …”
