What owners wrote

I've had the car for 2 years. Since I've had it, it would randomly not start, the heat would only work in the back vents. Got everything fixed associated with starter, battery, everything. For the last 6 months, my engine like has been on, and an esp light. I got the engine checked, brakes fixed, routers, brake pedal switch replaced and it's still doing the exact thing. Gear won't shift sometimes but it isn't the transmission.now they are saying possible electrical issue but this has been going on for months!

Reported at 90,000 miles, February 2019 Fire

I was stationary in a parking lot. My vehicle has electrical problems when it gets below 50 degrees f. All of my dashboard warning lights come on and my gauges won't register including my fuel, RPM, and speedometer. My turn signals won't work and neither will my emergency hazard lights. My door locks and window controls work intermittently when this happens. My navigation screen/back-up camera will not work and my wiper blades and headlights stay on even though the controls are set to off.
