What owners say about the electrical system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The infotainment system goes out randomly while driving, including the speedometer. I have had it looked at in the past because it would never connect to my phone and the radio wouldn’t work but now it is going completely black or lagging so bad that none of the buttons on the screen will react when being pressed. It has been happening more frequently recently. Today (10/29) both screens have blacked out 3 times. It comes back on around 30 seconds later and all the lights and warning signals start to blink until it regulates itself”

“the car was being driven and started to slow down on its own and then completely shut down with the check engine light on. It was taken to an outside auto shop to have the battery checked, and the mechanic said it was the alternator. it was still within the 36000 mile bumper to bumper warranty so I took it to the dealership. They claim the technician found the battery discharged once, but once the tested everything it functioned fine. It could have been from something left plugged into the USB port..... We are still waiting for the back up camera part that is part of a recall since 2025”
