What Owners Say

Automatic wipers

""Auto windshield wiper doesn't kirk in when it rains also doesn't adjust the speed when no rain. Poorly calibrated. Few times the car doesn't recognize my cell,has to use the card. The auto drive hardly instill confidence it speeds up so far and jams on the brakes,you feel scared to let the car in control. Other driver think you are on high beam because my car headlights are so blindly bright and aim at wrong angle. No AM radio available, noisy than I expected.low profile wheels tends easy to get scratched on curbside. Windshield wiper has a mind of its own.""

Even if I hold up my phone or fob to sensor. Ive had issues where it wont read it in the car. If Im trying to take kids somewhere we sit until it stops spinning - its temperamental and frustrating when I just want to get in my car or start my car."

But my app was connected to my phone, I could control with the app, but the only feature unavailable was the keyless entry. They had told me it was normal, but it kept doing it and I had a faulty Bluetooth receiver, after they replaced the part it had fixed the problem."
