Example complaints
Electrical system: “The DC-DC converter went out in December. The vehicle has 53,000 miles on it, so it is just out of warranty. I live 100 miles from the nearest dealership so I had it towed to a local shop. I was originally told the part was on back order until Mid-February. I was told yesterday, they think it may not be available until May 2026. If this is such a big issue that they can not keep up with the part, why is this not a recall item?”
NHTSA complaint #11709388, filed 2026-01Tires: “Perrelli Scorpion 255/55R20 tires experience experience excessive wear down to cords in under 15K miles. Tires are in adequate to support the weight of the vehicle.”
