This vehicle had been in the shop for over a month due to the emergency brake system freezing up causing my rear wheels to lock up, to smoke and rotors become damaged. Dealership could not find anything wrong as could not duplicate the issue. They did say that the EBS did engage while driving down the interstate at 70+ MPH. No reason why. Not normal! It was returned to me. Then 1 week after getting it back the vehicle started shaking violently when at speeds in excess of 65 for about 30 seconds. The RPM goes from 2 to 4 with difficult acceleration. When it gets back to normal, there is a definite clunk. Do not get any warning lights. Has happened 3 time in less than 2 weeks. Is not safe to drive! It is back at the dealership. Something is wrong with the vehicle. Have a video

On Sat. 9/23/2023 while driving on Rt 78 in New jersey. My vehicle started to hydroplane when i hit a puddle of water during a rainstorm. It recovered and we continued home safely. On Sat. 10/14/2023 while driving on Int. 276 in Penna. My car once again hydroplaned when i drove thru several puddles of water during a rainstorm. Only this time it was more severe and quite frightening. I slowed down to about 30mph, put on my hazard flashers and got in the right lane to continue the trip home safely. I am submitting this complaint to see if there have been any other reported incidents like this involving this particular model vehicle. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact stated that while returning to the set speed, the warning lights except for the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the battery was not maintaining enough voltage for the ECU and that the battery needed to be replaced.

On June 30, 2026 at approximately 1:13 PM EDT, my wife was maneuvering with the transmission in Drive to park our vehicle in the lot of our home. While in Drive, the driver's seat unexpectedly moved backward on its own, consistent with the vehicle's "Easy Access" seat memory feature activating. This left her unable to reach the brake pedal, and the vehicle careened over the curb and struck a stationary pole, resulting in damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle. Thankfully, neither the occupants of the vehicle, my wife and infant son, nor pedestrians were harmed. Had this occurred on the roadway, in front of a precipice or waterway, or any number of other locations, this failure could have resulted in death or serious bodily injury.
