What owners report

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) triggers hard braking with no obstruction present, sometimes while merging or at intersections.
  • Engine idles rough or hesitates abnormally after coming to a complete stop, then returns to normal until it happens again.
  • Auto Idle Stop occasionally fails to restart the engine at a stop, shutting off electronics and forcing a manual restart.
  • A cracked or damaged wiring harness near the rear ABS sensor triggered simultaneous ABS, e-steering, emergency braking, and adaptive cruise faults.
  • Drivers report smelling gasoline fumes inside the cabin during hot-weather idling, traced to a cabin ventilation issue allowing fuel vapor intrusion.
  • The speed-limit display camera occasionally misreads highway route number signs as posted speed limits.
