On 8/30 my vehicle experienced a power loss on a highway (reported here separately). I took the car to the dealership and they could not replicate the error and gave the vehicle back to me on 9/4. Later that day I had to drive 2 hours north to a wedding in the mountains. At 9:30pm my vehicle experienced a full drive power loss on an unlighted, curving, rural 2-lane mountain road in an area with minimal cell phone service. I tried to restart the vehicle several times and could not get any power. I called roadside assistance and had to wait over 2 hours in the dark on a winding mountain road for the tow truck to find us and then be towed 40 minutes away to the nearest dealership where my car is still sitting waiting to be looked at (2 hours away from where I live)

Driving at highway speeds, the front end feels unstable. It feels as if the tires are jumping around and will move the car to the right or left. It is difficult to maintain control. I had it into the dealer shortly after I bought the car to complain about what I thought was a front end alignment problem. They didn't think there was an issue until they got it into the shop. They said afterwords that it WAS OUT OF LINE. But their fix did not hold, so I went in again for the one year maintenace and mentioned the problem, but they said it was not out of line. Well, The problem still exists. Something serious is wrong and needs to be fixed.

The Moon Roof glass, which is not designed to open, developed a non-impact, or stress fracture. Since it is not supposed to open, the glass is a structural part of the vehicle. It was not cracked when I first took possession of the vehicle, and since I did not open the interior screen all winter, I never noticed the crack. I reported it to the dealer, but it did not take responsibility or offer a replacement.

Description of Safety Defect:The integrated Forward Attention Warning (FAW) driver-monitoring camera located on the steering column continuously fails to track facial structures or pupils during routine daytime driving. This occurs despite maintaining a proper driving posture, adjusting the steering column layout, and removing any facial obstructions.Safety Consequences:When the system falsely registers a "distracted driver" state due to its faulty sensor calibration, it routinely triggers erratic high-pitched chimes and immediately disables active highway driver assistance systems, including Highway Driving Assist (HDA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), and Smart Cruise Control. This abrupt loss of active steering guidance and vehicle speed maintenance creates sudden, hazardous driving situations on open highways. Furthermore, to get the faulty alert chimes to clear, the driver is forced to take their eyes off the roadway to stare directly into the steering column sensor camera, actively causing driver distraction.

Is 296 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2025 and 2026, roughly 200 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
