At over 5 years age and purchased new, we have had no major breakdowns and only one major recall to adjust the transmisson oil jet for 2nd gear.
Loaded with 2 adults, 3 kids and gear, it accelerates sufficiently for family trips up I-95, while still maintaining 20+ MPG.
For a tall SUV, it handles much better than the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Epxedition it replaced. We particularly like its AWD system during wet conditions and during cornering.
The wife especially likes the higher driver position for a commnding view of the road and visibility of surrounding traffic.
With parents, 3 kids, gear and a 3000 pop top in tow it has worked admirably (albeit with less MPG). Even on hikes up the mountains of NC/TN/VA we have been able to keep up with traffic
