What owners report

  • Airbags failed to deploy in low-speed and rear-end collisions, sometimes leaving occupants with head, back, or arm injuries.
  • Some owners describe unintended acceleration or surging while braking at very low speeds, leading to crashes into fixed objects.
  • Steering wheel locked up while shifting in a parking lot, causing loss of control and a spin before hitting an obstacle.
  • Electrical system shut down completely while driving, killing power and forcing the vehicle to stall in traffic.
  • Passenger-side airbag repeatedly deactivated even with an adult-sized occupant seated, raising concerns about the weight-sensor calibration.
