Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Instrument cluster or gauge display goes blank while driving, hiding speed and range information until the vehicle is powered off and left for a period before restarting.
  • Vehicle loses acceleration and shifts into neutral on its own at highway speed while under partial charge, with only a small "check electrical system" text warning and no audible alert.
  • Adaptive cruise control or Highway Driving Assist disengages without warning or accelerates well past the set speed when no vehicle is ahead.
  • Loss of gauge display also disables access to safety feature indicators such as seatbelt and mechanical warnings while driving.
