Example complaints
Electrical system: “For the last three months, after the car sits for 12 hours or more, I get a battery saver mode on my phone and many of the online features won't work. Dealer measured the battery power on first visit - read 93 percent. Went to dealer a month later, battery read 59 percent. Dealer advised me to drive the car more ! It takes 45 minutes to get to the dealer from our house, shouldn't have to drive longer than that. Something is draining the battery!”
NHTSA complaint #11729336, filed 2026-04Air bags: “Impact with deer on I-79 in WV at 70mph Air bags did not deploy. I was not injured but had it been a vehicle I would have been. Not inspected or confirmed by anyone. No messages or warning before collision.”
NHTSA complaint #11734945, filed 2026-04Forward collision avoidance: “The Corsair menu includes a Pre-Collision Assistance (PCA) option that controls Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and a Distance Indication icon (DA) in the display. The AEB and DA have not functioned at all since we bought the car (08/10/2024). A dealer has had the Corsair 3 times for a total of 12 days and has not fixed the problem. In fact the dealer has stated: Customer should not expect the car to stop . Neither the display nor touch screen have posted any messages or warnings. The last time for 9 days we had a loaner Corsair. Neither the AEB nor the DA functioned.”
NHTSA complaint #11706063, filed 2025-12Back-over prevention (rear camera): “I have noticed that when the battery is lower than 85% available power sensor effectiveness is greatly reduced. This is noticed with vehicle going into remote battery saver mode and the Auto Start/Stop function ceases to function. This also greatly reduces front collision, rear cross traffic and pedestrian rear cross traffic warning especially. This is apparently due to a battery drain if any USB items are left plugged in. But after six month review on my second battery it is more apparent that the Corsair has an electrical parasitic drainage problem that adds to the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11715760, filed 2026-02Mileage when problems were reported
100% of the 4 complaints with a mileage were filed for vehicles with under 50,000 miles; the middle half falls between 8,000 and 14,000 miles.
