What owners wrote
The vehicle failed to stop on a city street after full application of brakes causing collision and damage to front bumper . I have not received any notification from walks wagon that ceramic coating on the brakes needs to be fixed and was not aware of any brake issues prior to the collision .the vehicle has approximately 4100 miles and currently at the collision centre .
The most concerning safety issue is the malfunctioning auto start/stop system. On four occasions, it has shut off the vehicle while in motion, pulling into a parking spot, resulting in loss of power steering. On a separate occasion, it shut-off the vehicle while stopping to pay the parking attendant but failed to restart the vehicle when I released the brake and step on the accelerator. I had to put the vehicle in park and manually restart the vehicle.
