What owners wrote
Was involved in a passenger side impact collision while in motion on a city street and the side air bags did not deploy. In fact as a result of the collision, all electronics when haywire. Windows would not roll up/down, display on radio said something like no service, lights were blinking, and the car would not turn off. Impact occurred just behind the passenger front wheel and all the way to the rear wheel. Seems like the electronics could be better protected in a side impact collision.
Vehicle stalling due to dead battery according to dealership. Vehicle stalled while driving. I was able to start it again after coming to a stop, but it took 3 times pushing the start button before it turned over. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership to run diagnostic and they concluded the battery was dead and no other malfunction was reported.
