“Hot smell in cabin when using 4x4 mode navigation system is not accurate, shows me on roads I'm not. Speed sign recognition either does not work or is very inaccurate. Traffic jam updates never happen. Lane keeping system displays message to place hands on wheel. Then turn off. My hands are on the wheel, it still deactivates itself. Vehicle has sort 8 weeks in dealership, they can fix it”
