One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2020: “I bought the car in jan 2020, and found that it was leaking oil on june 2020, after 4500 miles. The oil leak looks to be significant as I had found drops and puddles on my garage floor. The oil leak seems to be coming from the transmission/engine connection area, or possibly the upper oil pan. The car is currently still in dealer service for repair.”
