Great car - with quirks
Love this car, BUT.....
- Engine makes a pinging noise similar to "engine knock" since car was purchased. Several trips to the dealer - am told engine is "within spec"
- Smell of engine coolant under hood since car was purchased. Several trips to dealer - cannot resolve.
- Intermittent rear turn signal error appears/disappears on dash, 6mo after purchase until now. several trips to dealer - cannot resolve.
- Occasional depressing of the gas pedal to initiate motion results in a power "hole". No battery assist, ICE does not turn on quickly enough - feels like car "stalls" before taking off again.
- Battery randomly activates 12v cut off. Started about 6 months ago - has happened 5 or 6 times since then. Pain in the rump to enter the locked car using the physical key within the fob to reset the battery cut off. In the shop now for this issue as well.
Would expect some of these issues after 10 years, but not out of a new car.
We were thinking of also purchasing a Hyundai all electric to replace our 2017 Chevy Bolt, but quite frankly, the Bolt has had no real issues and I am now gun shy of Hyundai.
