    My air conditioning system has gone out for the third time in 6 years. First one was at 38k miles and was the compressor, which contaminated the system, requiring a system replacement.

  • Forward Collision Avoidance, lane Departure 06/10/2026

    Warning lights for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure, and Auto High Beam all came on simultaneously.

If it’s widespread, the vehicles should be recalled.
