Coupled with a multitude of differential problems, interior creaks and rattles, etc. New owners aren't happy. Some have had their 50-100 mile cars they just bought in the shop for 30+ days.
I didn't have a chance to experience what you've mentioned. I turned the order down based on altogether different reasons from the test drive. However, the information you shared makes me feel that I made the right decision and in a version of your words "Dodged a Huge Bullet"(I had a harrowing experience similar to what you described with a BMW 7 Series a while back. Luckily, both the wife and I came out unscathed. Also, BMW promptly took the vehicle back. Thanks for sharing the info. Carac!
