Great SUV

I bought mine used with an unknown history at a great price. Went through all the maintenance, repairs & services listed in the manual & haven't had a single problem with it in the 3 years I've owned it, except for the stability control sensor. Ive had it in the shop 3 times to fix the problem, but it persists. Any curves, sudden abrupt stops the RSC Alarm goes off. Even had the sensors replaced & still have the problem of the alarm going off. Runs great other than that & have over 200,000 miles on the motor. Id buy this year make & model again & highly recommend it to anyone.
