what a terrible problem and super expensive to fix !!! the dealer quoted me $1600 to repair the issue. from the information i have gathered this is a common problem, the manufacturer should offer a recall on these things or at least some portion of compensation towards the repair at least. its pretty frustrating to spend that kind of cash for something that even the service advisor i spoke to admitted is a common problem with this make and model.
