Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER BEING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND MY BRAKES SEIZING, CAR TURNING OFF, SMOKING FROM CAR, WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH INSTRUCTING ME TO PUT IN N AND THEN IN D OR R AND THEN THE CAR DIES. CANNOT TURN BACK ON. ONCE I CAN GET TO START, SHRUGS IN MOVEMENT. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS WHEN I STOP AND GO - HAVE ISSUES WITH SHIFTING AFTER THE CAR STARTS BACK UP.
BRAKE MAKES SQUEAK NOISE WHEN BRAKE. (NOTICED WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASED) TECH CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEM, BUT HEARD THE SQUEAK NOISE. RECALL REPAIRED TRANSMISSION ON APRIL 15, AFTERWARD BACK-UP CAMERA PIXEL IN SLOW MOTION. STEREO SETTING NOT PROPERLY, NEED TO SET RADIO AND MEDIA EVERY TIME WHEN CAR STARTS. *TR
THIS CAR HAS TOTALLY INCONSISTENT BRAKES. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE "BRAKE-BY-WIRE" ELECTRONICS, BUT I'D BET SO, AND THERE PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THEY CANNOT BE MODULATED NORMALLY. THEY GRAB AND SLAM THEMSELVES AT ONE INSTANT AND THE NEXT ARE SMOOTH AND EASY. JERKS YOU AROUND WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS JUST SIMPLY A FLAW AND THE DEALER SAYS "THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT",AND "WE HEAR THAT A LOT", BUT THERE IS "NOTHING TO BE DONE". *TR
