Right from day one we noticed that navigation system that costs nearly $2,000 didn't work as expected. It tends go off course by several and sometimes by as much 30-40 mile off course.

The sliding doors freeze up all the time in the winter. After driving for approx. 30-45 minutes the door will unfreeze & come open! I have two children!!!
