Summary:
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 5 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE ALREADY MADE 2 PAYMENTS ON IT. IN THOSE 5 WEEKS, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE SECOND WEEK, I EXPERIENCED POWER FAILURE AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY HAD "BAD GAS" AND THAT IF IT DID NOT CONITINUE TO LOSE POWER, I WOULD BE ALL RIGHT. THE PROBLEMS SHORTLY ENDED AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES, SO I CONTINUED. THAT SAME WEEK, I GOT AN ALERT FROM THE CAR'S COMPUTER THAT TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I DID SO AND THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS RETURNED AFTER 3 DAYS AND I WAS TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE GAS CAP WAS NOT PUT ON TIGHTLY ENOUGH. THE FIRST OF THE NEXT WEEK, I WAS ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF POWER. I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER WAITING AN HOUR, WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS TO FIX THE PROBLEM- A VACCUM LEAK. WHEN I DID NOT RECEIVE THE CAR BACK 2 BUSINESS DAYS LATER (AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP), I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE HAD A NOISE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THEY ARE BRINGING IN A SPECIALIST AND HOPE TO HAVE IT BACK TO ME IN A FEW DAYS-"IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MORE DAYS, BUT WE THINK IT CAN BE FIXED." THEY HAVE NOW HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND HALF FOR THIS LAST PROBLEM- AND DO NOT FORSEE GETTING IT BACK THIS WEEK. I DO NOT THINK THAT A $53,000 BRAND NEW VEHICLE SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THESE KINDS OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS.

Summary:
FUEL LEAK WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A MOUNTAIN PASS (DURING EXTREME FIRE DANGER BTW) WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN. I SMELL GAS... I PULL OVER WHEN I FINALLY CAN ABOUT 2 MILES LATER. I SEE GAS POURING OUT THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CAR, ON TOP OF THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE... CAUSING THE GAS TO VAPORIZE AND SMOKE. I OPENED THE FUEL DOOR AND REMOVED THE FUEL CAP. SOUNDS LIKE A LIQUID WAS VIOLENTLY BOILING CAME FROM THE FILLER PIPE. A PASSING MOTORCYCLIST WHO WAS BEHIND ME STOPPED TO LET ME KNOW HE THOUGHT I WAS ALSO LEAKING GAS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AS I TRIED TO DRIVE ANOTHER LEG OF 3 MILES OR SO. FINALLY I STOPPED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE HERE... TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS SOME PUMP AT WORK, PUMPING GAS FROM THE TANK OUT TO THE OVERFILL HOLE OF THE FILLER PIPE.... I HAVE NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM... OTHERS HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT ON LORE OWNER FORUMS. *NM

VIN : SALAA254X5A...
Component: SUSPENSION
Summary:
ALL FOUR TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEARING AND CUPPING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN TO THE WEAR BARS, WITH LESS THAN 16,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IF THIS WAS NOT PERSONALLY NOTICED, A FAILURE OF A TIRE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A ROLL OVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER WITH MYSELF PAYING FOR THEM, AND TO PAY FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE WHEELS ARE ALWAYS IN A NEGATIVE CAMBER, BY DESIGN, WHICH CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, WHILE IN FOR SERVICE I LOOKED AT OTHER VEHICLES IN FOR SERVICE, AND THEY ALL HAD TIRE WEAR ON THE INSIDE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOME SOCCER MOM ROLLS OVER AND CHILDREN ARE INJURED. *JB
