WAS TOLD REAR SUSPENSION/AXLE WELDED IN, AND AT AN ANGLE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON TIRES, EVEN WITH REGULAR ROTATIONS. A SECOND DEALER/SERVICE STATION HAS CONFIRMED DURING AN OIL CHANGE THIS WITH THE MIRAGES BEING A DESIGN FLAW.”

“TRANSMISSION CVT HAVE PROBLEMS. CAR HAD A CHANGE TRANSMISSION OIL IN DEC 2020, AND YESTERDAY CAR STOP TO GEAR AND INCREASE SPEED. AFTER USED OBII SCAN, IT POP UP 5 DIFFERENTS CODE INCLUDING SOLENOIDE PROBLEM AND SPEED SENSORS. I HAVE TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION OIL AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS DIRTY (LIGHT BLACK) IN JUST 3 WEEK BURNED THE NEW OIL. CAR START TO INCREASE SPEED AND GET GEAR BETTER BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FULL SPEED.
