“I was driving on the highway in traffic with the stop/start function active. It was raining and windshield wipers were on. Engine stalled in traffic and I couldn't turn the car back on, pressed the brake and it wouldn't restart. I put it in park and it started back up. The dash had a low power steering indicator and check engine light was on.”
NHTSA complaint #11536711, filed 2023-08“My vehicle stalled out 3 times in one day while stopped a t a traffic light. Windshield wipers were on (I do not recall what setting). First message displayed advised to press firmly on brake, which I did. Second message was low power steering and the engine shut off completely. I had to put in park, turn off, and restart. Thankfully it did without issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11519957, filed 2023-05“Nothing has happened yet but I feel that the wipers on this vehicle, in high speed, are not adequate to clear the windshield in a heavy rain. I have great anxiety driving in heavy rain since purchasing this vehicle. I would like this to be noted in case others complain and hopefully it can lead to a solution. I just purchased this vehicle and now am stuck with a vehicle that can't provide basic safety.”
