Front CV axles. Front end shakes really bad at 30-50 mph. Dealer changed front passenger side CV axle but it still shakes really bad. I'll be bringing it back to the dealership, but warranty expires soon they need to have a recall and a better replacement part for this fix. I am not the only one with this problem
Power Train Jan 8, 2025 NHTSA owner report
Was not able to put the car in reverse. Had to be pulled out of driveway by another truck. When driving forward the engine was very loud RPMs were in the beginning of the red zone. Took car straight to dealer. Told the transmission fluid sensor was broken
Power Train Jan 6, 2025 NHTSA owner report
Premature failure of both front CV axles. The vehicle had an extremely unsafe vibration in the front end during acceleration. Dealer has replaced both axles under warranty. This is a known failure and many of these vehicles are experiencing premature failure. Warranty will cover but failures are continuing to happen.
