“My car has been dying intermittently for the past few months while stationary. Today my vehicle shut off while I was driving home on a residential street, traveling approximately 35 miles per hour, causing the steering to lock up and my vehicle to abruptly stop. All the indicator lights shut off as well. Another vehicle had to swerve into the other lane to avoid rear ending me.”

“I would like to report an issue with the vehicles automatic braking assistance system. While driving the car on an avenue, the car just stopped completely with no other traffic in the area. No one in front or behind. The car came to a complete stop and I and my passenger where thrown forward with the seat belts tightening around us. The car has also slowed down on major streets and highways.”

“The infotainment system, which includes the cameras and navigation system randomly reboots itself. While using navigation the entire system will reboot itself. Sometimes the touch screen will freeze up and it has to be manually rebooted. The infotainment system is important because it has your backup cameras and navigation system. (the date, mileage on my vehicle and speed I was going was based on the most recent occurrence.)”

“My vehicle would not start three separate occasions and the dealership told me it was the battery however it keeps happening and they will not check the alternator. If the alternator is bad my battery will not stay charged and they should know that as a mechanic. First time simply charged my battery, second time replaced my battery, third time just let my car sit for days to see what would happen so I had to pick it up without it being resolved.”
