What owners report

  • Backup and blind-spot camera views can turn completely black at night because the exposure control relies on the brightest camera image, usually the headlights up front.
  • One owner reported the windshield cracking in multiple places, inside and outside the glass, without any rock impact.
  • An owner described the car throwing a propulsion system warning and dropping into limp mode just days after purchase.
  • A driver reported the brake pedal needing to be pressed fully to the floor before the car would stop while moving at low speed.
  • Owners report that over-the-air software updates related to collision avoidance features often fail to arrive on the stated schedule, requiring a dealer visit instead.
