From the 2nd day after purchasing the vehicle new, there is a knock or pop noise in the right front to right middle of vehicle underneath. Appears to only happen when either body flexes or suspension moves and only occurs when steering wheel is turning to the right......never the left. I see on another forum the same complaint.
Also the seat memory fails to operate about 50% of the time. Both my wife and myself have the seat memory programmed to our liking. Both my wife and I have found when the other has been driving and we open the door the seat will not adjust and we have to manually get in, turn the vehicle on and slide the seat slide switch to be able to sit in the car. This is very hard for me as I'm tall and my wife short. When I open the door after she has been driving and the seat does not adjust back for me, I cannot sit in the seat normally to turn the vehicle on so I can slide the seat back. I have to go in sideways with my leg to pushing the brake pedal, reach around the steering wheel to push the "On" button, and then slide the switch back on the seat or hit the setting switch 1 on the door to get the seat back for me to sit down. Not good !
But except for the knocking noise under the car and the seat memory problem, this is a very nice car and the mileage is wonderful. It is definitely a luxury vehicle.
