What owners report
- Owners report sudden, unintended acceleration at low speed, including one case where the vehicle crashed into a house at about 3 MPH.
- The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) reportedly fails with a popping sound near the rear of the vehicle, triggering a Check Electric Vehicle System warning and reducing top speed to as low as 20-25 mph.
- Some drivers describe the vehicle losing power entirely and needing to be towed after an ICCU fuse blew.
- Factory-installed Pirelli tires reportedly blew out or developed sidewall bumps without hitting any road hazard, in one case dropping to 7 PSI within seconds.
- Owners report front windshields becoming scratched, apparently from the wiper blades, causing glare when driving into sunlight.
- Some owners report slower-than-normal DC fast charging times and batteries that fail to reach full capacity even after the ICCU was replaced.
