Dead battery numerous times in the 1 1/2 years owned, the first after 3 days and dealer picked up, said okay---has happened many times since. On may 20, 2020, returning from a trip, dash lights went off and on several times and smoke came out from under hood. SUV is at dealer now, so do not know what they will say.
