Not worth the money. For less money, you could get a comparable vehicle that's easier to handle. Overall, a huge disappointment.

I purchased my vehicle (my husband and daughter loved it) as a family car to pull our travel trailer. Although I was not crazy about it, being everyone else loved it, I thought I would eventually love it too. This vehicle has been nothing but one disappointment after another. The leather seat on the driver's side had to be replaced after 500 miles,because it began to tear. The wheels at 500 miles had to be rotated because they were making a "rattling" sound. The DVD system (not factory installed) had to be replaced twice because of defects. When I turn the fan for the heater on #3, it rattles under the hood. The brakes have been worked on twice because when I stepped on the brakes the front end shook and the driver's wheel shook. This problem has now reappeared for the third time. The driver's side window makes a whistling sound when driving down the road. Every few days I have to press the button to close the window (even though it is shut and locked) - seems to be jarring loose. In cold weather, the check air pressure light comes on and does not go off for a half hour. I took it to the dealer who does not know what the problem is. The Advance Trac light is also annoying and appears for no reason.

Besides feeling as if I purchased the lemon, I have never been comfortable driving the car. I feel as if I am driving a huge box that is not easily maneuverable. This is my third SUV and am used to driving large cars, but can't quite get the hang of this one.
