2023: “Automatic braking system works when unnecessary. No one and nothing in front of car when driving and auto braking stops vehicle. Multiple incidents. My children and I suffered seatbelt, neck, and back pain when stopped without warning. Also, scared. No, problem cannot be reproduced. No, vehicle has not been inspected. No prior warning before incident.”
NHTSA complaint #11660107, filed 2025-052022: “The steering does not return to center at lower speeds. This appears to be a very common problem affecting these cars after about 40k miles due to faulty part. Repair can cost $3k. Worried that the steering could lock up and cause an accident. My wife didn't even notice until I drove her car and brought it up. Some people could be driving for years without knowing.”
