Very good point and please tell me, where the hell do those socks go because I have that problem
I have 23,000 miles on my 2022 Taos and to be honest I love this little SUV. It gets amazing MPG, is a great little road car, good in the snow, I love the IQ drive, and has been totally trouble free and never back to the dealership. When I first got it and joined here I was scared Ch!t I made a mistake buying it because it seemed like everyone had issues but I've come to realize exactly what your pointing out. Yes maybe 20, 30, 50 people here have had issues with something, but how many haven't had problems with anything.
Ya there's a few quirks like there is with any vehicle like the overpriced wipers that chatter like a SOB, the windows that go down when you press up, the placement of the window buttons that has me still opening the back windows instead of the front, and yes the occasional all windows opened up on their own, (I hope there's no racoons in there waiting to eat me, LOL).
I also had the Low Coolant light come on about 6,000 miles ago and I freaked out after reading all these head gasket post but I literally added less than a paper cup of fluid and it's never gone on again.
Around the same time I had an airbag light come on but I bought a cheap little code reader and reset it myself and it never came back, oh ya and two or three times the carplay didnt load when started and I was stuck on the previous used satellite channel for hundreds of miles and couldn't change channels. That happen both times when I was up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere and there are black out areas for Satellite so I think thats played a part.
The other side of this is I have a $80,000 Hellcat with less miles than the Taos and it has occasional wierd issues like the 8.4" screen stays blank when I start it in extreme cold temps after sitting a week or two and it wont go on for a minute or so. We have to remember these days we are literally driving computers with miles of wiring, tons of switches, relays, sensors, vac lines, multi CPU's, etc... Todays vehicles are so dependant on "specific voltage and amperage" and sometimes they are affected by temperature, condensation, slight voltage drops, and they have all kind of fail safe systems that will turn things off until it gets a signal to turn it back on (or visa versa). It sucks that it clearly appears some are having head gasket issues but I think I've also read a few where they replaced gaskets and the light still came back on. Bottom line is if you keep getting a light and keep adding fluid you got issues, if you've added a paper cup in 22,000 miles like me, i'm not panicking anymore
