What owners wrote
While I was parking near the beach, the car started accelerating and the breaks became unresponsive. As a result, the car crushed into the water and got submerged. I was able to leave through the window before it got flooded
Vehicle in motion city & highway. The entire vehicle dies. The engine turns off, all the lights die, no steering, dashboard & radio die. A few seconds later the engine restarts on its own, lights come on, dashboard lights up and radio works. The one remaining issue that indicates the problem is that the radio complete resets to what I believe is the original settings. This problem has been ongoing since the vehicle was acquired.
