Loved it until 51,000 mile when several things began to fail.
It cost me almost what the vehicle is worth now.

I used the V8 version (120,000 miles) for about 6 months or so. Didn't notice any problem except the boress of the fan blade of which I didn't spend more than 5k to replace.
I sold it quickly cos mechanics were constantly warning me of the unavailable parts.

Bro, it guzzles fuel more than caterpillar! angry

Don't buy it! cry

Like we have said on these forum, Of if are concerned by fuel economy never consider a SUV stick with compact and mid size cars
