“While driving, in city traffic, 'low oil pressure' warning light came on and car stalled. Had to put car into neutral and restart. Pulled into a parking lot to check oil levels and it was fine.”

NHTSA complaint #11174430, filed 2019-02, 83,000 miles

“Doors fail to latch, with several reports indicating that the 'door ajar' warning light on the dash appeared and cabin lights stays on while driving and stays on after closing doors! The only way to turn them off is to unplug battery! This is the 3rd time that I have been repairing different doors latch and I am surprised why car safety recall has not been issued yet on these models. It's very expensive to repair and it's a causing a major safety issue when driving night time with cabin light on and ajar warning system is off!!!! …”
