Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden fires linked to electrical faults, including a spontaneous fire in a parked, unattended vehicle and a touch screen radio that smoked and burned.
  • Some drivers describe loss of power steering assist tied to electrical control unit failures, in one case reportedly connected to a crash.
  • Multiple owners report the electronic control unit (ECU) failing entirely, disabling radio and other electronic functions, sometimes within a few years of ownership.
  • Some report the vehicle stalling and restarting on its own multiple times while driving, with a steering wheel warning light illuminating.
  • One owner reported a rodent chewing through the wire harness, which they attributed to soy-based wire insulation, triggering a check engine light.
  • A separate steering-related complaint references a 2015 recall (15V144000) for the electric power assist steering system, though the owner's VIN was not included in that recall.
