Dec 1, 2024 · Unknown or other

Kept going in for repairs for the same concerns - nothing was found —- now its a recall on the 2022 model for the same issue that my 2021 model has —- Malfunction in the front/ rear differential lock system malfunction.

Jun 3, 2022 · Lane departure

The lane keeping assistance is WAY to sensitive. Several times at just the slightest move towards the shoulder the car will brake and swerve. Its very alarming and needs to be recalibrated.
