What owners of this build wrote

Unknown Or Other Jan 2023
Windshield broke and it happened previously with a older jeep pebble on the highway likely kicked up and hit the windshield I believe because the windshield is flat there is an increased risk of breakage
Power Train Apr 2020
Vehicle dies when putting into reverse first start of the day. A little bit of a clunk is also experienced when this happens
Power Train Nov 2019
When we 1st start the vehicle in the morning and put into reverse the vehicle dies. We took it to the dealership one time and they were unable to replicate the problem. They flashed three computer and it stopped for a while but has started back up again
