4xe hybrid models lose motive power on the highway, dropping into a low-speed electric-only mode with a red turtle icon and a 'Service Hybrid Electrical Vehicle System' warning.
Engine or hybrid system stalls suddenly at highway speed with no warning, sometimes requiring the vehicle to coast to the shoulder.
4WD system triggers a 'Svc 4WD' light along with grinding noises, jerking, and reduced acceleration when trying to reverse or drive straight.
Some owners report the stall or power-loss issue recurred even after a software update that dealers said had fixed it.
