Rear lift gate panel below glass has developed a crack. This lift gate has been recalled but dealer states the cracked panel is not part of the recall. Two dealers have said this problem has occurred in other vehicles. Has not yet been repaired. Also transmission trouble. Dealer said needed to replace at cost of $3200. Dealer charged $80 to tell me it needed fixed. Took to trans. Repair shop to repair at cost of $1300. This month I have also had to replace the idler pulley, egr valve, and the elec rear window is not functioning.
