“I have received warnings on my dash since the vehicle was brand new. Auto stop start continues to malfunction . Parking brake deploys itself and some days the steep won't turn on and touch screen doesn't work. Since all this happens while I am driving and not at dealership they insist it doesn't occur and haven't repaired even after keeping my vehicle in their shop for the first six months I owned it.”
NHTSA complaint #11414140, filed 2021-04, 12,000 miles“Around 2:30 am on december 30, 2020 I was driving home on the freeway. It was raining a little bit but nothing to what I have driven in before. I set my car to cruise at 65 MPH when all of a sudden my steering wheel started locking up. I found that my steering wheel would not turn the way I wanted it to and was veering left. I had to use some force to keep it straight and not get into other lanes. I thought I was okay until a light lit up on my dashboard. I believe it was the engine light because as I heard it go off and flash at me, my car started to stall up and then go repeatedly. …”
