What owners wrote

Since approximately 4,000 miles we have experience numerous electrical issues. Our back-up camera, navigation, radio, and A/C work intermittently. The dealer initially felt the battery was backfeeding the system causing a short. That was quickly changed and we are still just waiting for an answer. While parked overnight, one of the map lights came on and could not be turned off. The overhead control panel was replaced due to an open circuit.
