Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Electrical System: The dashboard and screen have repeatedly turned off, the windows have become inoperable, and numerous warning lights and messages have appeared, including alerts for night vision, front camera sensor, and service car. Climate Control System: The system blows inconsistent temperatures, ranging from extremely hot to very cold. It also gets stuck in windshield defrost mode regardless of the selected setting. This has caused dangerous fogging of the windows, obstructing my vision while driving. …”

During the last service, the dealership performed multiple tests and concluded that the noise source is the engine motor mounts. If they disconnect the electrical plug of the motor mounts all the noises are gone. Consequently, they proceeded to replace the left front motor mount but unfortunately the noise is still there and concluded that there is no fix available right now. …”
