What owners wrote
Complete failure of engine. Sensors and electrical components malfunctions. Touch screen display non responsive and keystrokes off. Gas/fuel would spew back out when filling. Windshield visibility poor. Lighting dim. Hydraulic system fail. Timing belt fail. Flang sound (ticking in engine) LED to engine fail. Electrical lights flickering was me. Vehicle stalled out completely shutting off locking up and seizing out. Components malfunctioning.
Week of sept 20th transmission was skipping when changing gears during low speed and violently jerked. Took car to dealer to check out and they said they could not find anything wrong but reset transmission adaptive values. Transmission was fine for 3 weeks but then problem reoccurred but was worst. After transmission jerked, going under 25 miles, transmission struggle to change gears. Mostly coasted home and immediately called dealer.
