Terraza

Vehicle would not restart and left me and my family stranded 1.5 hours from home and was towed by dealer. Once I got it back there were several other problems that I had faced before that were now occurring again. The sliding doors malfunctioned about every other day. The vehicle has given us trouble starting on two other occasions, as well. These were not reported as we assumed that being a brand new vehicle that we must have left a light or something on. We knew that the problemwas with the vehicle and not our negligence.
