2020: “The backup camera randomly works and randomly does not work. It seems that this would be a safety hazard. We have had it in the shop several times since we purchased the car in december and keep getting the run around as to the problem. Last time they replaced the camera and said it was now working. Worked great for 2 days and now back to not working .”
NHTSA complaint #11415261, filed 2021-05, 5,500 miles2022: “I was driving in a highway going at highway speed and the car suddenly just shut off and all the alert lights were reflected at that time the car was not responding completely, shut off, then within seconds after the lights flashed it started on it's own. It was the first time this happened. I was concerned that the car would not respond and maybe could have cost an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11762586, filed 2026-092021: “Your site shows no recalls. I got a recall for a repair I had to have done a few months ago.
