Same here, just no reliability at all. Back to the dealer 3 times in
the first 2 years for their free oil change. Every time I turn around
it has to have gasoline, and then it was new tires, Will it never end?

It only has 42,000 miles on it and it's time to get rid of it. Make me
an offer like you know what you're talking about so I can get the new
generation on order.
