What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Driving to work when all of a sudden it became incredibly difficult to steer and control car. I was veering at first to the left then to the right. I tried not to hit the person on my right and slammed on the brakes, which caused me to fishtail and hit the guy anyway. My rear driver's side tire was completely gone-only a rim remained.
Vehicle breaks stopped working and went straight to the floor. Also loss of steering. Since both the brakes and steering are electronic I believe there was a electronic failer in the car.
While coming to a stop at a stop light the regenerative brakes suddenly let up and the car was not stopping correctly. I applied full force to the brakes and the car did slow but not before hitting the car in front of me. The vehicle collision warning did not come on because I was already breaking.
Driver side rear bliss sensor will either indicate a vehicle is present when nothing is there or fail to indicate a vehicle is in the blind spot when present. Due to this failure, it creates a safety hazard due to driver not seeing the car and the bliss light is not on even though a car is there. Problem started around november of 2015 and I showed dealer videos of problem and dealer said no error codes so cannot fix.
