It has had a few issues since the day I bought it.
First one is the door bottoms do not seal up well at all on 3 of the 4 doors. Bad enough where you see daylight thru the bottom seals of the door and frame. The only inward adjustments you have are the strikes. You can only adjust it so far, before you can't pull the latch to open the door without fear of breaking the handle.
2nd is the windshield squeaking and rattling as you drive it over dirt roads, wash board, etc. Squeaks bad enough that you have to turn the handle about 45 degrees to help it stop squeaking.
3rd issue is the God awful squealing of the brakes. Since day one it has made this grinding, squealing noise from about 10mph down to a complete stop. Did it at the test drive at the dealer, and has done it every since.
4th, is the AC. It has oil leaking from the fittings by the condenser, and seems to be low on freon. I believe that should be an easy fix, but dealer does not have an ac tech to check it out.
5th is the seat belts keep getting twisted up in the B pillar mount. I straighten them out, and lean forward to grab something off the dash, and they are twisted up again. Almost like the mount on the B pillar will not move far enough, or the opening is too large and let's the seat belt twist up. This one is border line dangerous, as the retractable part of the belt is not working once it gets jammed. This happens everytime.
The rest of the stuff is small electrical stuff, window switch intermittently working, and thats about it.
It did every bit of this when it was stock. I told the dealership before I did anything to it with aftermarket parts. And they said they would document it and not blame it on the parts.
Long story short, can am rep finally makes it to look at the machine, claims the door leaks are caused from me installing the HCR arms and larger tires, and it is now aerodynamically changed, and the air pressure is blowing the bottom of the doors open while I'm driving.
Other stuff he is blaming on the aftermarket accessories I have installed too.
Has anyone else had any of these issues with there cars?
With the amount of money this POS cost, I was expecting a little better fit and finish.
