“I had the car repaired last year around this time with an issue saying that the battery charging system needed to be serviced. At the time I had recently bought a battery but the shop informed it could be due to a dead cell in the battery 1 year exactly and the same issue occurs. It start with the check engine light being displayed then it will start sending the message and battery light comes on. There should not be another dead cell battery. There is definitely an issue with the charging system of these cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #11269859, filed 2019-10, 71,000 miles“In 2018 the air went out in the vehicle and then the ABS light cane on. A few days later the check engine light was displayed and then the next day the battery completely died. I took it to the shop and had it fixed. They said that battery was missing a cell and they replaced the battery, fixed the air conditioning basically fixed all issues. Fast forward to a year to the date the same issue started again in that order. The car has officially cut off and I searched and there are no open recalls coming up for my VIN number.”
