Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a list of problems i've had with this car. first the odometer reads 5-7 miles higher than my actual speed, and the radio reception and volume oscillates randomly. the entire car starts to shake the longer at a stop; say in traffic or even at a long red light. it's even worse on an a hill, both incline and decline. the friction point changes randomly which makes it quite easy to stall out the car from a starting position. when one turns the wheel to go around a turn the front of the car produces a deep groaning sound. the paint is also chipping off randomly; and i hand wax and wash this vehicle myself; so it makes no sense since it's only a year old. the top coat is actually pealing off on parts of the car. i took it into the dealer and they updated the software on the radio; and i'm currently waiting for the flywheel to be replaced, the part hasn't come in yet.
