What owners report

  • Some describe a rough idle or noticeable engine vibration in Drive at stop, especially after the engine warms up, which owners tie to the new VC-Turbo engine.
  • Front left wheel clunking noise at low and high speeds was reported shortly after purchase.
  • Owners describe heavy, intermittent vehicle-wide vibration linked to a defective active noise cancellation amplifier that dealers could not repair.
  • Some report the vehicle shaking or swaying at higher speeds, which the manufacturer attributed to road conditions rather than a defect.
  • A fuel pump failure caused a complete engine shutdown while driving on the highway, requiring a tow.
