“The vehicle experienced a concurrent failure of the high-voltage traction battery pack and the High-Voltage Battery Coolant Heater (Diagnostic Trouble Code P0E15). The electric battery coolant heater is a critical component of the high-voltage battery thermal management loop and vehicle cabin heating/defrosting system. When this heater fails, the high-voltage battery cannot regulate cell temperatures in colder ambient conditions, which disables electric propulsion mode, triggers powertrain limp-mode/reduced propulsion warnings, and leaves the vehicle unable to clear or defrost the windshield in freezing temperatures. A sudden loss of propulsion power in traffic or loss of windshield visibility during cold weather presents severe safety hazards. The manufacturer approved the traction battery pack under warranty but denied statutory coverage for the concurrently failed high-voltage coolant heater, leaving the vehicle disassembled and inoperable.”
“My vehicle is currently being recalled for the recall 52D, I have reached out twice in a thirty day span asking about a fix and been told both times there are no parts for this fix. The risk of this recall includes fire, while charging or while parked and off.”
“The vehicle was left in parking on a Saturday afternoon in Costco. When we came back and we put everything in the trunk, the vehicle turn on automatically, not by remote start, on its own. When we saw the dashboard it said: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", but the vehicle didn't take any gears and it was not able to be turn off. We try to turn it off several times but it came back on, on its own with the same message: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", after towing we dropped in the dealer and the dealer couldn't find anything not even a computer code. This could have happened on a semaphore waiting for a light and maybe the car would have rolled on its own? that's something that it is concerning.”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
