What owners report

  • Regenerative brake system throws an error and stops working properly, sometimes reappearing while driving and nearly causing a rear-end collision.
  • EPB (electric parking brake) and Auto Hold warning lights come on intermittently with no clear trigger, and the brake fails to hold.
  • Forward collision warning light activates with no actual hazard present, sometimes paired with a glitch-like flash on the dashboard.
  • Front sensors for collision avoidance stop working and repeated dealer software updates fail to fix the alert.
  • Adaptive cruise control randomly disables itself along with EPB, Auto Hold, and check engine lights, sometimes staying off longer only after the car sits.
  • Cruise control has been reported to unexpectedly accelerate the vehicle well beyond the set speed on the highway.
