Owner Complaints (2)
Your car is consuming oil faster than normal, requiring frequent top-ups even though the dealership found no leak. Your audio system produces static noise and the infotainment screen goes black, sometimes taking hours to respond. Additionally, your car shakes when braking at high speeds, which creates a safety concern. These issues may require diagnosis of the oil consumption source, electrical system inspection for the speaker and display problems, and brake system evaluation for the shaking.

Your steering wheel becomes noticeably stiff and harder to turn for about 1 second when you're slowing down between 30-42 mph, and this has happened three times since you bought the car new. The stiffness feels like the power steering temporarily loses electrical power right when the transmission downshifts. A mechanic should diagnose whether this is a power steering system electrical issue or a transmission control problem.
