What owners report

  • Vehicle burning oil at increasingly fast rate, large oil consumption. No oil light or dashboard warning. As I was driving down the highway my car shut down... I pulled over to the shoulder got out...my car was smoking... Within minutes my car was in flames.

    filed Jul 10, 2018

  • The rear hatch is poorly designed and has broken off under normal wear and tear. This is a known issue with this model vehicle and should be covered.
