What owners report most
Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component
Electrical system
7 reports1 crash
“Vehicle is repeatedly losing functionality of features controlled by what is referred to as the infotainment system, included lane departure warning, sound associated with turn signals, sound associated with GPS, use of hands-free calling system, etc. Upon reset, functionality resumes but the reset takes a few minutes and must be performed again and again as the issue is recurring. The main problem is that you don't know the functionality is temporarily down until something causes you to notice (IE no steering wheel vibration when departing a lane without turn signal, no alerts on backup camera - objects are visible but off-screen objects don't trigger a warning like they typically do, etc) so you don't expect anything to be wrong when it is. I marked that this incident occured today - which it did, coincidentally on the way to a service appointment about this issue specifically, but it has been happening with increasing frequency over the last couple of months.”
Tires
4 reports
“Chunking of both front tires at 22k miles. I had the tires replaced. The first tire, about a month ago, I noticed chunking on the passenger-side front and had it replaced. This week I noticed chunking on the driver's-side tire, identical to the chunking on the passenger side. Also had it replaced.”
Back over prevention
