Consumer Description

THE CAR SMELLS HORRIBLE LIKE GAS INSIDE WHEN I START IT TO HEAT UP. STARTED SHAKING, ENGINE IS MAKING A LOUD SOUND THAT IT DIDN'T BEFORE. I GOT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATED ON MARCH 30, 2021. NOW TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GETS TO CLOSE TO 200 DEGREES AND THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO NEED TO FLUSH BECAUSE OF THE MODEL. AND I GOT THE RECALL COMPUTER UPDATE ON JANUARY 30. 2021 ALSO FOR THE OIL ISSUE. I'M AM SO UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT.
