1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2023

Walked out to the garage where the vehicle had been shut off for a number of minutes to conduct another day’s personal investigation (can’t leave it outside when it rains unfortunately - moonroof leaks). This time: exterior lights on & found the interior lights in what looked to be an odd cycling. Video can be provided, no pictures taken. The price for honesty? dealers: $500. I can live with that, someone should at some point, do the right thing by others & disclose its problems. The car is a lemon & by all other standards-has no reason to be. I’m done filing reports, 3 in 30 days & I’m done driving the vehicle after 101 days of personal research. Behind the wheel of this VIN which additionally is covered till 2028 & has also failed previously (Nov ‘22 clock spring) is too much of a safety concern; & the cost to repair exceeds the worth of the car. Value in a sense is relative, and I don’t have much to say about that subject. Additional findings and details can be provided. Also, toxins & emissions are a concern.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2020

My vehicle only has about 80,000 miles and there is a very loud sound coming from the dual mass flywheel when idling, both when parked or in drive. This seems premature for this transmission.
