The heat shield on the floor of the passenger side is missing near the exhaust manifold. The shield cable for the batteries and other wiring has melted and shorted some wires. The heat was so hot that it melted the plastic storage compartment also and exposed the vehicle to exhaust gases and heat. This is an extreme safety hazard as the vehicle could catch on fire. I am scared to drive the vehicle.

There was no warning lamp or message, but just before the wipers stopped the passenger wiper began to operate in a jerking fashion. It was raining very hard and the wiper control was on FAST mode.

Dealership sprayed hose on it and could not replicate the effect. Well drive it and you will see. Terrible to spend over137k for something I can't drive in a rain storm.
