There-??s a chemical smell entering the cabin of my vehicle from the engine ever since my car was serviced at the dealership. I-??ve had headaches burning, watering eyes, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, eye twitching, and generally unwell. My daughter has had a cough and they refused to acknowledge any issue. They changed the filter and clean the vents and they-??re saying nothing-??s wrong. There-??s been multiple -?" alert since I bought the vehicle in April with them being the lane assist, throwing code all the time while I-??m driving in any conditions the front assist as well and the brakes needing some plug that was missing from it and now a light sensor is not working as well and the dealership isn-??t being any help. I escalated it to a corporate and they-??re saying there-??s nothing they can do. I-??ve been without my car for a week as it-??s been in the shop and I have had a rental and since then I haven-??t experienced any symptoms and now they-??re wanting to give me the car back because they can-??t find anything wrong, but I fear for mine and my kids, health and safety to be in that vehicle

Battery was dead 6 days after purchase and had to be towed to dealership. Dealership put a new battery in the vehicle on a Friday, 2 days later the battery was dead again. The dealership kept the vehicle for almost another 3 weeks and replaced 2 modules and the infotainment screen; this seems to have repaired the vehicle. If the car was left unlocked for 30 minutes and the radio would turn on and then turn on all of the electronics and drain the battery to dead. Once the vehicle was jumped with a jump box every warning light was on, and the vehicle was inoperable.
