Rear window shattered while driving. No rock or other damage. I just heard a loud bang and it exploded
NAV display and radio stopped working black screen blank
On 2 separate occasions, I have gone through 4 quarts of oil in 2000 miles. No leaks as verified by mechanic. Just excessive burn. The check oil light does not come on to warn you and says I still have 50% oil life but almost bone dry.
