THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED. IT RUNS OUT OF OIL 1500 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. SEVERAL CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HAVE PROVED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED REPORTING IT TO THE EPA.

THE PLASTIC STRUCTURE OF THE BACK IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE BODY.THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES WHICH IS A HAZARD AT NIGHT, ANYONE CAN MISTAKE THE FLICKERING AS THE CARS CHANGING LANES WHEN NOT THE CASE. SINCE THE DOORS ARE NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED THE WIND,DIRT AND MIST OF WATER, BYPASSES THE WEATHER STRIP. THERE IS OVERSPRAY ON BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT. SINCE IT WAS UP ON A RAMP THE DEALER SAID THE ONLY WAY I COULD SEE THE INSIDE OR TEST DRIVE WAS IF I GOT PRE-QUALIFIED ,THAT ENDED UP BEEN MY SALES CONTRACT! WHEN THE TRUCK WAS LOWERED DOWN THEY GAVE ME THE KEYS AT 7PM WHICH WAS DARK IN THE FALL, SO IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH.
