What owners report
On January 5, 2026, my son was driving to work at around 8:30 am EST. While waiting to turn left at a stoplight, his car inadvertently moved forward and collided with an oncoming vehicle.
Caught on fire, burst into flames within minutes of seeing smoke. My son barely got out before it blew up. His dog in the backseat unfortunately didn’t make it out. Would like investigation on what could have caused this. Before someone else loses theryre life
February 14 early afternoon the car was just acting funny like I didn’t wanna go started jerking I pulled over on I-95 where the car continue to jerk and act funny so I cut the car off.
In 2022, there was a recall on the hood latch system. At that time the dealership was able to spray a substance on the latch and close out the recall instead of replacing the latch.
I am having issues with the back-up camera display on the radio screen freezing up occasionally while backing up and once it went black while backing up. I have also had dozens of issues with the drivers door not opening.
When putting my vehicle in reverse, I noticed the screen on the back up camera was blank/black color and did not show the angles/guide of which I was parking.
