NHTSA complaint #11217168, filed 2019-05, 46,000 miles

Electrical system: “I have noticed that when driving over rough road, or after an abrupt pothole, all electronics in the car will shut off. After about five minutes a reset will start and, even though I'm still driving, all the dash lights and test will go through the cycle usually reserved for when I start the car. If I happen to turn off the car while it is in this sort of outage, it will require a jump to start. The radio will forget its stations, and the clock will need to have the time set again. …”
