Description of the problem	This vehicle has been a problem since i purchased it. Unfortunately, my state does not have a lemon law for used vehicles so i have been stuck with repair after repair. #1 the battery. I purchased this vehicle in 2016 and i have had to replace the battery twice already. This vehicle has killed cells in multiple batteries. #2 the transmission. When i initially purchased this vehicle occasionally it would not smoothly shift into 3rd gear. I took it back to the dealer multiple times, but of course the issue would replicate during their test drive so they couldn't diagnose the issue. The issue is that the truck will not shift correctly, but the problem normally corrects if you turn the vehicle off and then turn it back on. The problem is that you never know when the truck will not shift gears. This is problematic when you have a toddler in the vehicle and need to get on the highway and all of the sudden the vehicle will not shift in to 3rd gear, then you have to try to safely find a shoulder and hope that turning off/turning on the vehicle will fix the issue. Sometimes it's a 1x fix; other times the vehicle has to the restarted 3x times before the vehicle will change gears correctly. Diagnosis from 1 mechanic, something is sticking in the transmission and the entire transmission needs to be replaced #3 timing chain. This is the most recent issue. It began with an onset of a check engine light and multiple codes about a crankshaft sensor, o2 sensors, etc. Originally the mechanic was going to replace the sensors, but insists on replacing the timing chain assembly based on the information discovered about vehicles using the same parts and recalls it's unfortunate to discover that this vehicle hasn't had a recall issued for any of these issues knowing that they pose safety risks for drivers and passengers, especially children and the elderly.
