About two years ago I noticed that my seat had a broken part. The power seat assembly had a broken place where it attaches to the actual seat. Finding the part to replace it is so expensive. I also purchased two new batteries running $400 plus from the dealership with the vehicle only being a few year old the batteries should last longer. The start stop on the car fails all the time and I barely am able to crank the car from the fob. Since purchasing this vehicle for $31,210. I am trying to reach the manufacture to see what they can do.
Has the car 38 days and it stalled on me in traffic: wouldn't shift gears and stated that parking brake was engaged. Had it towed. Bad tcm. Waited 3 weeks for part. Replaced. Picked up 4 weeks later and had it for two days and it happened again while in traffic. Had it towed again. Twice my life has been put in danger. I was in motion twice at 50mph when it just engaged the parking break and shut down entirely. Check engine light, brake light, track light, every light you can think of came on and the car totally shut down, would not restart, would not shift gears for tow truck, nothing. Happened twice. 6/8/2018 and 7/7/2018.
