1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2019

The drive shaft needed to be replaced at 65,000 miles. The headlights look like they are not on at night when you are driving. There have been 2 class action lawsuits won in California and florida for these defective headlights. I don't know why they would not include all the cars that had these headlights because they are all defective. If I would have known this I would not have bought the car. I have owned it 4 months and the touch screen cracked, driver assist seat control stopped working, the drive shaft needed to be replaced and the headlights do not look like they are on at night. I feel like I have to drive with my high beams just to see adequately and safely.

2 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 02/11/2015

Car was making whistling/howling sound between 30mph-45mph. Thought possibly a breaking in issue, but continued after 1200 miles and was most prevalent at stated mph above. Shop stated bearing issue in drive shaft and entire drive shaft must be replaced. Concern over effect to other power train parts connected to defective drive shaft. Could not be driven until parts replaced. Definitively, a safety issue.
