Push botton start doesnt a lot of the time several times a wekk start the engine. Also, the suspension is terribly rough. You can feel every bump!.

When pressing the accelerate pedal there seems to be a delay in response. The delay can be as short as a few milliseconds to almost 3 entire seconds. This problem happens randomly, and makes my wife and I very nervous when trying to maneuver or proceed into traffic after being stopped.

On multiple occasions, the engine would not start (push button) .
