Do I cut my losses now on my 2022 Taos SE?
I bought a 2022 Taos SE as a CPO in early spring 2025. I thought this was the perfect next car for me as I was downsizing from a 3 row SUV. And it was at first. I noticed the wipers going off randomly, but I couldn't pinpoint any common data at first. Then my remote start wouldn't work. Took it to the dealer and they discovered a head gasket issue. Got that fixed and the remote start was working again. They couldn't duplicate the wiper issue, so no action was taken. Completely disregarded me when I told them I didn't have auto wipers in my model.
Fast-forward to this summer and the wipers are out of control. I gathered as much data as I could regarding when they would go off and made an appointment. Meanwhile my infotainment screen went black. No backup camera. No radio. Nothing. Added this diagnostic to my service appointment.
The wipers need a new "switch" is what they told me. Not sure if that is the stalk everyone is talking about. They also told me the screen has "no communication" so they're wanting to replace the screen, but it is on backorder with no ETA on when it will arrive or be fixed. Meanwhile, I have no radio or backup camera. I can deal with the backup camera in the short term, but having no radio is brutal.
These are all covered under the warranty, but that is about to expire. I have considered trading it in for something completely different. Their desired trade in value is lower than what I owe on it (same dealer I purchased from and paid more than minimum every month). I'm disappointed, but also don't want this to be a money pit. I'm reading the forums and don't see a lot of positive resolutions. Has anyone had a good long-lasting solution? Or are we all dealing with little issues and biding our time until we dump this car?
