Trying to love it
If it weren't for the DCT transmission problems that I'm having, I would probably like my 2024 Santa Cruz XRT more. The noises, stuttering, lurching and whining... And these are known issues with multiple customers vehicles. The dealers service pretend like they don't know these issues unless they you specifically tell them what the service bulletin is. One dealer did apply the TCM update which has lessened some of the shifting noises, but they are still present as is the whining noise. I fear being stranded somewhere when the transmission completely fails as I've seen reported from so many other owners. Besides this, the vehicle is comfortable and I like controls and entertainment system.
