Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component
Power train
1 report
“The car will randomly start shuttering and powering down without warning. Every light imaginable on the dash is illuminated along with various pop up warnings on the DIC. When this occurs, the car will not move under its own power and it loses its ability to brake entirely. I was in the middle of an intersection this last time, thankfully a police officer was near and directed traffic around me until i was able to get the car taken to the nearest dealership. This is the third time I've had this happen, I had it looked at and they replaced an electric brake module etc but that clearly didn't work. I've read of a few other similar incidents on various forums. There aren't a lot of these cars produced so far but if there's cases already popping up, something isn't right.”
