Description of the problem | The vehicle mileage is currently at 115,446 . At approximately 110,000 miles vehicle started with a very loud cold start. Not only was it loud but it was rough with a high rpm. I know they call it cold start for a reason but this is not common with other vehicles i owned that were 2015s. Now the vehicle started making a ticking or knocking noise. Currently this is my only vehicle and with the other complaints that are matching exactly up to mine why isnt this problem being investigated or recalled? If and when this vehicle seizes on me like every complaint on here i will update. There is supposedly a class action lawsuit for this year make and model but not a single recall. Not even an investigation? Please update us and previous owners of the complaints what steps yall are taking to fix this problem. |
