NHTSA complaint #11186288, filed 2019-03, 32,000 miles

“The car shakes very uruptly at idle. You can look at the engine and see it's shaking at idle. If you turn the air conditioner on it gets worse. Radio screen will not work sometimes. Blue tooth will work then cut off then turn back on when it feels like it. Automatic headlights work then randomly not work where I have to turn them manually on. Wipers do the same as the headlights but to correct the issue for the wipers it takes turning off the car and turning it back on and out them on low. Engine will die randomly while driving the car at any speed. Gps will not load sometimes. …”

“When trying to clean my windows when a the rain left weird streaks while driving I was unable to clean my window and made it very hard to see while driving.
