On December 19, 2025, the vehicle showed lights that a sparkplug had misfired. The dealer notified me that in less than two full years of having the 2023 vehicle, it required a complete engine rebuild. This is the third major engine problem I have had with the vehicle with more than $20K in fees. The services performed in December 2025 repairs included Cylinder Head Assembly to Replace Engine Cylinder Head Assemble due to multiple cylinder head fault codes, including misfire, injector injection, and mixture formation code. Cylinder 2 is leaking out of the exhaust valve. Camshaft replacement and rollers due to deep scoring on both intake and exhaust cams, not by cylinder two. Exhaust valve leaking from the head while the camshafts are scoring, leading to misfiring as well.

Graco Turn2Me car seat is loosening over time when installed with the vehicle seatbelt and the SnugLock Lock-Off. The vehicle seat belt was also switched to a locked mode after proper installation and did not make a difference over time. The car seat continues to loosen over time to the point where it is moving more than an inch side to side at the belt path. This can cause injury to a child during a crash. Car seat has been installed with the assistance of certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians and Instructors on multiple occasions.
