“I purchased this vehicle october 20th 2017 and within 2 weeks the service driver assistance system light came on. Took it to dealer was told was old code and erased a few days later same message came on was told dash was cleared and GM case filed. A few days later light came on for 3rd time. Dealer toyed us around about fixing it but finally supposedly did with new sensors in seat. Since then I have been having major electrical issues with my ABS system and key fob. Key fob becomes unresponsive and ABS light comes on and off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11058513, filed 2018-01, 76,580 miles“I purchased this car used in 2/2017, great car, until it starts acting up, it doesn't matter what speed or distance you are going, all the lights start flashing and loses speed till it completely stops and will not turn back on. You unplug the battery and take all the fuses out, plug battery back in and insert all fuses and it will restart. It will leave you stranded anywhere, after a week of purchase, took it back to dealership, they supposedly worked on it, only had 30 days of warranty, a few months later started again and will randomly do it. …”
