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.
When driving at highway speeds and applying the brakes, the front end of the vehicle vibrates excessively. This vibration feels like it is coming from the disk brakes that are on both of the front wheels.
Digital display (mileage, oil level, fuel gauge, etc) fails when turning vehicle on during cold weather. It remains backlit, but all text disappears. Typically, this happens when driving on either highway or city streets. This means as a driver I'm unable to see if I need fuel among other things. When the display returns it is illegible. It's as if all text is trying to display on the screen at once. This is distracting, unstable, and extremely unsafe.
