“I have spent thousands of dollars repairing the suede lining on the interior of the car. Now, I can't even find anyone that will touch it! The wood grain has faded and the vehicle is garage kept. The horrible buttons were made of a material that literally became gummy. I spent hundreds having them replaced. Sunroof had to be replaced/motor more than once, the clear coat on the back panel of the roof has peeled. I have had other cars with almost 200,000 miles that had perfect paint when traded. The paint on this vehicle is terrible. This is only to name a few of the issues. …”
