Almost everything about this car is terrific, but...
I love the exterior styling, technology, comfort, ride quality, stereo, interior fit and finish, and climate control. I am glad we purchased this car. It truly looks more expensive than it was.
However, there have been a few things wrong with the car that keep me from saying it is perfect.
1. There is a small paint defect on one of the doors. It is very hard to see so I did not return the car. The original GV70 we tried to purchase had several similar paint defects and the dealer was able to find another one that was better.
2. The right-rear passenger door makes a clunking and popping noise when it opens and shuts, like something is broken with the retainer arm that stops it from opening too far. The other three doors are perfectly silent.
3. About 6 weeks after purchasing, the brakes make a loud squeal as I reverse out of my garage and down my driveway virtually every morning. Sometimes it also happens leaving a parking space in a shopping center. It's embarrassing.
JD Power wants me to fill out their survey also. I have an appointment for service, so we'll see how my complaints are handled. So far, all I've been able to get is an appointment by booking online. My calls to the service center in Peoria, AZ went unreturned.
