Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe sudden unintended acceleration where the brake pedal fails to slow or stop the vehicle, in some cases leading to a collision at low speed such as pulling into a garage or parking spot.
  • One owner reported an under-hood engine compartment fire while driving at normal speed with no prior mechanical issues and around 25,000 miles on the odometer.
  • Some owners describe the vehicle losing power or entering limp mode, with dashboard warning lights and difficulty cranking the engine.
  • Owners report an inaccurate low oil warning light despite normal physical oil levels, which dealers attributed to a software glitch with no fix offered.
  • A few owners noted an unusual loud noise while driving along with a drop in gas mileage, suspecting a defect in the eCVT or power-split device tied to one of the electric motors.
  • One owner reported a power steering malfunction warning along with disabled lane departure and collision warning systems at higher mileage.
