Vehicle starting problems. Took it to dealer a few times and it still does it from time to time. An advisory was issues, but still did not fix the problem. Rear passenger bearing went bad around 9000 miles. Front brakes were already worn out at 17000. They replaced them, and still went out around 21000. Had to use other company pads/rotors to go by. Rear brake shoes were cracked, not used, cracked. They said is normal. Many suspension noises. They said all was okay. I changed the suspension from my own money since they were no help and still same noises. Now they blame the E after market suspension on the problems. Other users and people I have talked to complained about same or similiar issuse.
