NHTSA complaint #11551792, filed 2023-10

Electrical system: “The radio unit provides the view of the rear camera. When the radio fails there is no back up camera. Apparently there is a power defect in the radio system so it will not function and therefore no rear camera function.”

Engine: “Driving on the highway to school the vehicle began to slow down and come to a stop even as I stepped on the accelerator.
