Rearview System Braking problem #1

The functioning of this feature has never worked. We have had a number of near misses in parking lots when exiting a parking space.

Sensing System Camera problem #2

Per the manufacturer, the car requires an oil change every 10,000 miles. However, the engine has a known defect to the manufacturer so that the car only makes it to about 6000 miles before you have to do an oil change. And sometimes the car doesn’t alert you. So your engine could possibly burn up and catch fire. Also, it’s a known issue to them that the back up camera malfunctions suddenly. So it’s really like you don’t have a back up camera at all.
