“My vehicle has this white smoke coming out of the exhaust after it sits for like a few minutes. Smoke does not come out when I'm driving only when I sit. So if I'm at a red light long enough it will smoke. This just start happening out of nowhere and after looking it up everybody who has these cars almost have the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11355104, filed 2020-09, 125,370 miles“The transmission is very dangerous, when pressing on the accelerator it will rev the engine high, then jump into gear and lunge forward. If stopped at a light, it would definitely kill someone, and when stopping the vehicle, it feels like you are getting rear-ended. On this date, the transmission launching the vehicle forward almost caused a case of whiplash.”
NHTSA complaint #11403628, filed 2021-03, 85,000 miles“Fuel is leaking from the fuel pump electrical connector into the vehicle cabin, apparently extremely similar to what 5 and 6 series Bmw's were recalled for (Bmw recall campaign 16v-746)”
NHTSA complaint #11299149, filed 2020-01, 85,000 miles“Fuel leak in passenger compartment under seat. The plastic cap covering the fuel tank and pump access has a leak near black wire harness connector. Several others in online forums have described same problem. Fuel pools beneath right rear passenger seat. Plastic cap has a crack on underside which when pressurized pushes fuel out the top of the cap. Dealership quoted $767.81 for new fuel pump. This is clearly a safety concern as fuel smell is in passenger compartment. The defect is only on the plastic cap covering the fuel tank access and is sold as part of the fuel pump system. …”
