What owners report

  • Automatic emergency braking activates unexpectedly on the freeway with no obstacles nearby, sometimes taking over steering for several seconds.
  • Brake system loses power assist suddenly, causing the pedal to go rigid and the vehicle to fail to stop even with heavy pressure.
  • Vehicle accelerates on its own while stopped at a red light, leading to a crash into other vehicles.
  • A low 'whump whump' noise preceded an unexpected activation of the emergency brakes with no warning lights displayed.
  • Rear turn signals sit low on the body, making them hard for following drivers to see.
