Since purchasing this unit on 06/14/2025, I have taken this car in for many issues, including the digital dashboard going out multiple times and the AC unit stopping working. I have attached the service history ticket for your records. This unit is deemed to fall apart here shortly. Not even a year old, and the AC has already gone out 3-4 times. Most important is the dashboard that shows speed and other important information I will use to drive.

Driving and everything on my dashboard goes black. Also issues with false blind spot detections.

See attached document for complaint.

My son's car was hit by this Buick while he was making a right turn. The driver of the Buick was not paying attention and thought he had already turned.

I don't know the answers to the above question as we were not the driver and it is not our car. Our concern is how could the car allow such an impact to occur especially at low speed. Video…
