Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have noticed an issue with the rear view camera. When you first shift into reverse, it goes on. But as you begin to back up, for a second or two the picture freezes, although the car is still backing up; then it resumes regular operation. This is very dangerous, because if an object or person is present, the driver may be relying on the camera, and the car could strike the object or person, although the camera would not indicate he is about to do so, since the picture is frozen. I believe it is an issue with the software, not particular to my particular car. …”

“Car was bought in march 2018. Around 1 month into driving the car the radio and dash display starting doing its own thing. One would say radio on, the other radio off. At times, the connection menu would come and freeze. Got into the car and started it and the cd started playing loudly, which was strange as when I parked and got out of the car I always turn the radio off. Blind spot indicator failed several times when passing a tractor trailer. While driving at night with a storm coming the headlights and dash lights went out along with lights going dim for no reason several other times. …”
