| Description of the problem | I requested many times to have our car checked for nhsta campaign : 19v493000. The dealership said our car was not included in that case. Our lane assist was too aggressive from the first day we drove the car. The dealership said the steering was speed sensitive and we were driving too fast. We explained that we could not keep the car in the lane when driving over 40 mph. In the first 24 months we carried the car to the dealership 20 to 30 times for the unsafe steering issue. Twenty four months later we had a rock chip the windshield and the chip ran into 3 cracks each over 8 inches long that afternoon while the car was in our home garage. After we paid a $500. 00 deductible and the dealership replaced the windshield , the car drove better. The battery has been replaced three times, the fuel pump replaced, all the sensors on the tail gate have been, the passenger side window would stick 1/2 up, and many other problems. A scan of the car shows 10 modules failed with many active codes. The codes are the same as before the third battery was installed. Many of the codes are safety issues. |
