The complaint goes on to say: “They stated that the part was backordered and it could be weeks before the part arrived. They stated they had ordered the part and that I could come (and) pick up my vehicle.” I contacted my local dealership and they said the overhead console had failed and was the cause of the issues. The interior overhead lights in all 3 rows of the vehicle are not working and the fold down mirror lights are not working. The passenger airbag light on the overhead console that notifies if the airbag is on or off was also no longer lighting up. “Also, all controls on the overhead console (sunroof, sunroof shade, MAP lights, rear access control, auto folding seat control) were no longer working.

It took six weeks to get a replacement part, but it hasn’t helped. The dealership diagnosed a faulty serial gateway module. In total the vehicle has lost power steering on 12-15 separate occasions.” This has happened both from a cold start and while driving.
