“When you slow down, the vehicle cuts off completely. When you turn the car on, it's almost as if the gas is not traveling somewhere and causes it to take a while. Having it cut off on the highway is a very scary thing. I see recalls yet they're acting as if my vehicle is not affected by it.”

“This occurred one time only. As my bluetooth connected phone began to ring, the car's touchscreen interface went blank and the HVAC vents rotated to the closed position. I am not sure if the entire electrical system went down as the touchscreen immediately rebooted and the vents rotated back open. I did not notice any problems with braking, acceleration, or handling. However, I remain concerned as all systems on this car are drive by wire.”

NHTSA complaint #10305610, filed 2010-02, 3,500 miles

“I was driving on the freeway at 70 miles an hour when the car just switched off, no warning signs it just shut down as if it was turned off.I was able to steer the car onto the hard shoulder and stop safely. I pressed the start button and it started up fine, this had happened to me before at a stop light months before. I took it to the dealership where they have had it for over a week. It shows an interruption on the computer but they can't duplicate the problem and they are giving it back to me tomorrow as is. …”

“The leather dash(why, in hot cars?) has crumbled and come apart from the dash itself. It started off with a little crumbling and separation. Now it's much worse.this tends to flap up and down if driving with the windows down. This is a safety concern I have with visibility. Also, the dome vanity lights come on and off by themselves in motion and when the vehicle is stationary. I was told the carbon pad kit by the dealership due to the wiring has shorted out. Also, the engine control module shorted out. This is beyond me how the computer shorted out in a car that's only 7 years old.”
