Example complaints
Electrical system: “Iactive sensor indicated there was a/n (obstruction) or something preventing iactive from working (i dont remember what it said)? I dont remember- but either way- i find it distracting. It could not be turned off and was flashing repeatedly- telling me to drive safely ironically making me feel like I had to read it, in inclement weather, and take my eyes off the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11703141, filed 2025-12Other or unknown: “While driving on the highway our sunroof exploded with no impact. The glass blew up outwards causing a loud gunshot like sound. We had the sunroof closed (not in use) and there were no vehicles around us for any asphalt or rocks to cause impact.”

NHTSA complaint #11715886, filed 2026-02, 700 milesForward collision avoidance: “The vehicle has major electrical issues. The ABS and all over driver safety options would shut off for days at a time.
