Sorry to hear that HAMVI got a lemon. Unfortunately, it happens to all makes.
I have only owned one Japanese vehicle [Toyota 4Runner] and it was complete garbage (e.g. Underpowered, Tranny Slipping, Electrical Issues, Cramped, etc.). Others praise Toyota, so go figure.
My folks have a BMW X5 and it has been plagued with glitches in addition to the fact that it's worthless coming up the hill to our house when more than 6" of snow cover the ground. The dealership has a snobbish attitude also - I'll pass on buying German - thanks anyway.
Better luck with your next vehicle; again, truly sorry to hear this.
