What owners wrote
All 24 warning lights came on and the vehicle came to a complete stop on 3-4 occasions . Towed to dealer on 3 separate trips. Dealer has not offered another car yet. I was driving and the warning lights came on and the car stopped and I could not get it started back , so I had it towed.
While driving this vehicle at 55 MPH on a parkway, the middle dashboard began randomly displaying 'service now' and 'service' needed messages for the hill-assist and auto-start features. It continued flashing other messages that I could not read because at the same time, my steering wheel completely locked up. It would not turn left or right. I had trouble applying pressure to the brakes.
