What owners report
- Battery drains repeatedly for no clear reason, sometimes leaving the vehicle hard to start or not starting at all even after battery replacement.
- Dashboard, infotainment, and climate controls go completely blank at random, sometimes triggering every warning light and buzzing sounds, forcing the driver to pull over and restart the vehicle.
- Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking failed to activate when a car ahead stopped short, resulting in a crash.
- Automatic braking has activated unexpectedly near a railroad crossing, causing a sudden stop with traffic behind.
- Radiator fan clutch stays engaged, slowing acceleration response and creating inconsistent throttle behavior.
- Check engine and collision warning lights illuminate at startup, tied to a wiring harness issue that required throttle body and ECM replacement.
