“The driver side mirror is distorted. I drove it home from the dealership after having the dealer replace the mirror before we left the lot (we noticed it when before drove off the lot) then just drove and it was still warped. I was scared to switch lanes. The distortion happens when the car is both stationary and in motion, on highway and on the streets.”
NHTSA complaint #11395493, filed 2021-02, 41 miles“There is a constant rattling noise coming from the rear area. It sounds at boths low and high speed. Not sure if is from the suspension or something inside the trunk area. My vehicle has less than 600 miles.”
