They replaced the struts. Had leaking. Fluids. Oil. Coolant mold smell from ac ,leaking roof,trans emergency mode. Electronic park problem ,.........,and its worst. I loved that car. Beginning. Now just cant wait get rid off
The car feels like a boat on a ocean. With the new struts.
 
+1 on the front suspension issue. had both front sway bar links replaced at around 25k. I wish that was my only issue. I, like Dodi1979 really liked this car for the first 8 months of ownership, now I cant wait to get rid of it. Even at the expense of massive value loss.

@dodi , how many times did the dealer tell you all of your issues are " normal" and/ or "common in the atlas" completely downplaying the lack of quality control in this model. I wonder what these will be like when they actually get some miles on them, say 100k +. I wont know because mine will be gone but I cant imagine they will stand the test of time based on the issues so early on.
2019 rline same problem again its feels like a boat ride and a Rollercoaster its in the repair shop again
