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.
I had 2 accidents in the same week. First one was Monday 2-20-2023. Leaving work heading home, I was at a red light. The light turned green and the car in front proceeded to go. As I hit the accelerator, my car ran into the back of a car full speed. Every attempt to stop car and was unsuccessful. I called to make appt at dealership to have car inspected. Before I could get to said appt at dealership, a very similar incident happened again 2 days later as I was pulling into parking lot of work.
I have owned the vehicle for approximately 20 months. During this time, I have been in two major accidents. The first incident involved an 18 wheeler on a houston freeway that sideswiped the passenger side from the front to the rear rim, which exploded and I was turned the opposite direction and traveled across 5 lanes of traffic. Approximately $12k in damage with no side curtain deployment. This was brought to their attention with no follow-up.
Even with hands on the steering wheel when on the highway the car warns you to put you hands on the wheel. When accelerating using the steering wheel cruise controls the car accelerates rapidly going way faster than one would wish. Unlike most cars, the switch on the steering wheel does not lock in a speed when you release it when speedometer reads the desired speed. Instead the care keeps accelerating, the turbo kicks in and the g-force pushes you back into the seat.
