What owners wrote
Multiple issues with garage remote control buttons not functioning. Issue with driver seat not vibrating when vehicle ventures out of lane with "lane assist" feature on. Vehicle shut down while driving on highway sending multiple warnings about engine malfunction, parking brake on, etc.
My car is equipped with the auto stop feature to save fuel. I works fine but is very unsafe on hills here in seattle. Two weeks ago I was stopped at a light on a hill and the engine turned off. I had a free right so I stepped on the gas pedal, there was a delay but before I could take my foot off the accelerator my car lunged forward in the intersection almost striking a pedestrian who was j walking. The next incident happened today when I was at a 4 way stop on a hill.
