- Multiple warning lights (brake system, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist) come on together, in one case followed by loss of acceleration and forced deceleration from 70 mph to 25 mph.
- Brake lights fail to operate at night despite the collision avoidance system also showing a failure at the same time.
- Rear brakes and rotors wear out unusually fast, with damage reported around 19,500 miles.
