    I want to know if anything is being done about the proliferation of high intensity headlamps both at the oem and the aftermarket level. These headlamps are blinding even on the low beam level. Typically in rural areas i have to wear sunglasses to avoid becoming blinded by oncoming vehicles.

Popping noise is so loud that it has frightened the driver several times. The driver has even made the decision to just remove the radio from the vehicle to prevent being frightened and…

    Horns were replaced in 2017 under warranty. Dealer's service writer told me they were having problems with horns. Horns worked intermittently starting five months ago. Had car in for state inspection two weeks ago and that day they worked so car passed but service writer advised that horns needed to be replaced. The car is no longer under warranty and the part is more than one year old which is the length of time…

Its sputters, hesitates, jumps, and feels like it cant make up its mind on what gear to go in. And its only gotten worse. Thre…

    Since owning this vehicle brand new, there have been consistent transmission issues. While the vehicle is in motion, regardless of speed, it feels like it slips into neutral gear even though it is an automatic. We have to pull over as quick as we can to avoid getting hit by other moving vehicles. Our vehicle has been back to the dealership numerous times for this issue to where they have replaced parts related to…
