Exhaust pipe bent & rubbed against the plastic gas tank which caused a hole that allowed a leak. Took to dealer & was informed owner needs metal piece between tank & exhaust. Manufacturer not taking responsibility of financial replacement. Consumer was never made aware of the skip plate option, requesting reimbursment. Transmission has a pause when upshifting from 2 to 3, when in 4WD, the left wheel grinds when turning. The right front power lock made a grinding noise when power door locks were actuated, dealer installed new door latch assembly. Steering wheel was not centered, causing vehicle to drift to the left while driving.
