Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The stereo system/head end emits a very loud noice randomly while the vehicle is in motion. The sound is so loud that the immediate instinct is to grab for the volume controls distracting the driver from the road. None of the volume buttons on the steering wheel or dash have any effect. The sound only goes away when the uconnect system crashes and reboot automatically. The problem has happened several times. It is unclear whether the sequence is initiated with the forward collision sensor. …”
NHTSA complaint #11405364, filed 2021-03, 1,000 miles“Your vehicle's air bag warning light recently indicated the air bag system may not be working properly. The air bags in your vehicle might not inflate in a collision, or they could inflate without a collision if you do not get the required service. Have your vehicle checked at your dealership. The sos systems comes on the screen and is very distracting when driving. Then it states it couldn't connect to sos system and contact a dealer. Red light comes on the dash and on the rearview mirror. Almost caused me to wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #11413900, filed 2021-04, 1,280 miles“In the smallest snow flurry while driving the FCW system, as well as the ACC system will disable themselves because the system reports the sensor is blocked. This has happened every time I drive in any kind of currently falling snow. If I stop the car, wipe the sensor off, and continue driving, the system will work for a little while until snow clogs/accumulates on the sensor again.”
