I COMPLAINED SIX MONTHS AGO ABOUT A THUMPING NOISE AND WOPPLE IN MY FRONT END. I WAS ADVISED TO WAIT FOR THE 30,000 MILE CHECK TO GET ALLIGNMENT ADJUSTED. AFTER THE SERVICE A MONTH AGO, I STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK TWICE AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. THE SECOND TIME I SAID I WAS NOT PICKING UP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THAT'S WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND THE IDLER PULLEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS COVERED BY WARANTY. BUT I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END - A SLIGHT WOBBLE AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH.

What owners reported
Newest filingsTHIS CAR WAS RULED A LEMON. MBUSA ADMITTED THERE IS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT PREVENTS THE PASSENGER MIRROR FROM RETURNING TO IT'S MEMORIZED POSTITION AFTER IT TILTS DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE REMOTE KEY (I HAD IT REPLACED TWICE) RANDOMLY FAILS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. IT ONCE RANDOMLY LOCKED ME IN. THE PASSENGER DOORS ALSO UNLOCK WHEN THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO. THE SEAT ALSO FAILED TO RETAIN MEMORY AND I COULD NOT REACH THE PEDALS UNLESS I CORRECTED IT. IT CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION AFTER THE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED. THIS CAR HAD MANY RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.*AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
