What owners report most

Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Electrical system

6 reports1 crash
“My car was originally parked outside the garage. I started the vehicle using the key fob. I began to press the remote smart parking assist button to back the car into the garage but the button was not working correctly and would not move the car. At that point, I went into the car and reversed it manually into the garage. I placed the car in “park” and exited the vehicle to check the position of the car. The position was off so I got back in the car and proceeded to move the car forward a couple of feet. I pressed the “park” button and exited the vehicle. The vehicle started to inch forward and I reached into the car to attempt to stop the vehicle from its forward travel. At that point, I was wedged between the driver’s side door and the b pillar as the car began to use the middle portion of the split garage to compress me across my abdomen, hips, and legs.”

Engine

5 reports
“In March 2026, I was driving on the freeway when the car shut itself off and put itself into neutral and accessory modes. There was no warning. This put the safety of myself and other drivers on the road at serious risk because I was unable to accelerate or adequately control my vehicle without warning. The dealer says the car "is operating as designed."”

Service brakes

3 reports
“1. When starting from a stop the vehicle sometimes applies brakes with a collision warning, with no other vehicles in front or next to the car. This will repeat several times before the issue goes away. This has happened 4 times in the last 10 days. 2. When using adaptive cruise control the vehicle will not recognize vehicles ahead, even with the maximum following distance selected. This is almost always the case.”
