My vehicle has an ongoing safety‑critical defect involving the braking system, powertrain, and ADAS logic. I have not driven the vehicle since 04/27/2026; all diagnostic trouble codes were recorded while the vehicle was in the dealership’s possession.

Left rear passenger door latch failure to open either from inside or outside. This is a mechanical failure of the cables operating the latch. A passenger could not easily exit the vehicle in an emergency situation, also there is no way short of breaking the glass to easily access or if necessary extricate the passenger in an emergency situation. As evidenced from online searches and forums this failure is all too common and has been addressed with a narrow set of vehicles with an extended…

Crash

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection? The forward collision avoidance (FCA) system malfunctioned. The front camera system appears to have triggered unintended hard braking beyond normal driver input. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was safety put at risk? While approaching a vehicle in front of me, I was gradually slowing down and applying the brakes normally. Without warning, the vehicle suddenly applied significantly…

Doesn't slow down properly when I step off from gas pedal and try to stop at traffic light/stop signs and before making turns. It barely reduces average 2 mph for whole block. Lets say when I step off from the gas pedal at 25 mph, the car reduce the speed to about 23 mph when it's so close to light/stop signs and right before making turns. It seems like there is no 1st gear, just 2nd gear is the lowest. Always I have to brake harsh before light/stop sign/ making turns. I've been driving for 45…

WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF ANY ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN DUE TO AN ISSUE THAT THE DEALER IS REFUSING THE…

Crash

My car abruptly stopped due to the emergency braking system when the car in front of me braked (hard) but I had more than enough time to stop without having the emergency braking system engaged. Due to this, the car behind me hit me from behind damaging my bumper, trunk, and back lights

Transmission previously replaced after failed Judder test. Transmission is failing again: Last few days the car will accelerate to 15 then it attempts to shift and power drops and pressing the pedal has no response or very little then it changes into what feels like 4th or 5th gear at 20 mph and acceleration is very sluggish and also switching into manual gear control is completely unresponsive. Power drop at 15 mph, the transmission jumping into what feels like 4th or 5th gear at 20 mph, and…

During the winter, my car would activate the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking while I was driving when there were no other vehicles in front of me or even around me. It happened several times over a few day timespan, at the time I thought it was because I had gotten a car wash when it was colder weather and maybe the water had affected the system but now I see that there is a recall for this same issue.
