2025: “EZS module and PTCU module failed and caused check engine light. Dealer was unable to read trouble codes and could only reset it. They replaced the modules. This is a safety issue for me and the dealer said I could only sell the car back, they refused to refund my full purchase of the vehicle. I lost about $14k just for owning this vehicle for 2 weeks.”
