Yesterday also has loss of power too. I have alerted them many times, they keep saying to take it in but they don’t do anything and I don’t feel with this car.

NHTSA complaint #11658955, filed 2025-05“I have now experienced multiple instances where the vehicle suddenly brakes on its own while driving at normal speeds, without any obstruction or hazard ahead. This is not only unacceptable — it's extremely dangerous, putting both myself and other drivers at risk of serious injury. Despite bringing the vehicle in twice to the dealership, the issue persists. I continue to receive dashboard malfunction alerts, and the automatic braking problem has not been resolved. Each time, I am left without a vehicle, impacting my ability to work. …”
