VI have this car since 2012. Took it new. There was a problem with the transmission in the warranty scream. Repaired by a dealer. The first time a week, the second time 4 days. After a warranty period of 71,000 miles, the transmission collapsed completely, after I reached the workshop, they could not move the car. Transmission parts are made of some kind of light alloy. It is magnetized, but very fragile. This repair cost me $ 3,000. Now I have a mileage of 82,000 miles, jerking again begins when shifting when shifting to slow gear. This is especially noticeable when climbing. The car is weak and unreliable. Another problem with the battery. I already have a 4th battery, because the warranty on this type of battery is only 2 years.only

As a business owner I bought this to replace my 1996 ford explorer with over 300,000 miles. I was suppose to get 21 to 26 mpg. I get 19.5, only 3 mpg better than my v-8 explorer. Same roads, driver and payload. This is most likely due to the extremely underpowered engine which has to work hard to pull hills in western MD. Needs to drop 2 gears to travel up hills on interstate. 6200 RPM right below redline to travel 70 mph on these hills. Forget acceleration-it doesn't exist. Good vehicle for around town but not made to drive on highways. Salesman told me power wuld not be a problem. Yeah, read any article.
