Dissatisfied

No problems for first 4 years. Got “brake assist” error one day and dealer could not fixed. This is a very dangerous error as the car suddenly stops accelerating (no matter what is your speed). Took the car to dealer shop 7 times! Finally the dealer bought me back the car. Too bad because it is a beautiful car, but totally unreliable.

Buyers be aware

It’s an amazing suv! Comfortable, drives well. It has all the features you could possibly want. Now for the bad…things are constantly breaking down…parts and labour are very expensive. Unfortunately I will sell mine not worth it!
