VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING A SNOW STORM IN VIRGINIA 12/09/2018 MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO DRIVE REMAINDER OF THE 2 HOUR DRIVE HOME DURING A SNOW STORM, AT NIGHT IN TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS WITH NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP (TAPPAHANNOCK CHEVROLET) REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY (WITH MOTOR) SIMPLY BECAUSE A PLASTIC TRANSMISSION ARM LOCK (POORLY DESIGNED PLASTIC BUTTON/BUSHING BROKE. TOTAL COST WAS $357.40 DUE TO A LOUSY DESIGN!

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON FREEWAY. I TRIED SLOWING THE CAR BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP THE SLOW THE CAR HENCE CAME THE SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER TO ABLE TO STOP THE CAR TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO BREAK AT ALL AND IT ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS SURPRISING TO ME THAT NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG WAS POPPED OPEN, GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED (ESTIMATED DAMAGE OVER $10,000). I HAD MY SON AND TWO OF HIS FRIENDS IN THE CAR. IT IS VERY SHOCKING THAT THE AIRBAGS OR BREAK DID NOT WORK IN BRAND NEW SUV.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT EXCESSIVE RATES. ONCE THE OIL IS LOW THE OIL LIGHT IS NOT COMING ON. THE ENGINE WILL STALL, BUCK, OR SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR FASTER THAN NORMAL CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING TO HAVE THE CAR STALL OR WHEN GOING FROM A STOP TO PRESSING THE GAS AND HAVE THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR BRIEFLY. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND CAUSED CARS TO NEARLY REAR END ME. THE CAR HAS ALSO STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE AIRFLOW FROM MY DEFROSTER VENTS STOPPED WORKING. THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING STILL WORK BUT THE AIR FLOWS ONLY THROUGH THE FRONT FACING VENTS. I CANNOT DEFROST OR DEFOG MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WHEN NECESSARY. I HAVE TO KEEP A TOWEL IN THE CAR IN CASE I NEED TO WIPE IT OFF. IT MUST BE A BROKEN DIRECTIONAL SWITCH/DAMPER BUT IT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO GET IT FIXED YET.
