Known issues for this car

Before you buy this car

From the generation guide

1. Press the carpets and footwells on both sides, and look at the roof lining near the mirrors. Bad result: any damp carpet, water stain or musty smell.
2. Open the panoramic roof and press the seal edge at the front and rear. Bad result: a gap in the foam tape or a seal that is not flush. A seal fix needs a workshop.
3. Drive over a rough road with the windows shut and listen to the front end. Bad result: knocks over bumps or squeaks from the front. No scanner needed.
4. Ask for the front brake history and check the discs and pads. Bad result: discs or pads due soon, or a wear warning on the dashboard. No scanner needed.
5. Ask a dealer for all open recall campaigns by VIN. Bad result: any open campaign. No scanner needed.
