ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS VEHICLE BOGGS DOWN WHEN GIVING IT GAS AND WILL OFTEN CUT OFF AFTER STOPPING FOR NO REASON. THERE IS A NOISE WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE (LIKE A CLICKING NOISE). THE VEHICLE DO NOT GET THE 32 MPG AS WHAT IS STATED, I GET ABOUT 20 MPG HIGHWAY. THE GAS NEEDLE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WILL FILL UP AND STILL SHOW 1/4 SHORT. THE LEATHER SEATS ARE BUCKLING AND DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL BUT KNOW OTHERS WITH LEATHER SEATS & NOT HAPPENING TO THEM. RECENTLY TOOK IN FOR "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT AND MALFUNCTION LIGHT. THIS IS NEW CAR & NONE OF THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE HAPPENING THIS SOON. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A "LEMON" AND DEALER IS NO HELP AND THESE PROBLEMS WILL COMPOUND AS CAR GETS OLDER AND WARRANTY IS OVER I WILL BE OUT OF LUCK. UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.
