Consumer Description

POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT ONLY DURING A SHORT RANGE TURN, HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T HEAR THE NOISE- AS SOON AS THEY GAVE IT BACK IT WAS STILL POPPING, IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE COULD BE MANY ISSUES, BUT WAS A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS. MAYBE 2018 SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL. WAS AT THE DEALER 4/2/2021- BOUGHT THE CAR JULY 2020
