Failure Date: 08/18/2020

When backing up the vehicle will hesitate then it feels like I hit something. Then there's a clunk . . (rear tow bearing/u-joint) #2 have to always have defrost on or windows fog up. . Then there's a smell of antifreeze coming through the vents. Breaks grind when stopping. Rear brakes and rotors were replaced by dealership. . Break fluid low, along with a bunch of other issues transmission slips when taking off from a stop. Always have to reset average gas mileage to get a reading. I believe I was sold a lemon as the finance guy took my down payment and purchased a extended warranty which I never agreed to.
