Since August 08, we have had the following problems.
@ 3k miles when towing, lost turbo pressure, but returned, dealer was unable to identify cause.
@ 16k, lost turbo pressure again when towing, dealer claimed hose clamp loose.
@ 20k, lost turbo pressure (not towing), dealer finally identified wiring harness shorted against hot exhaust.
@ 40k, rear camera stopped working, Camera replaced.
@ 46k, fuel/water separator drain lever broke, replaced.
@ 50k, fuel/water separator drain leaking, replaced.
@ 60k, replaced 4 tires
@ 62k, replaced shocks
