Recent Complaints

20251108STEERING

Steering wheel pops / clicks when turned 15-20° from the center in either direction.

20251006FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

While in cruise mode, car has several times suddenly and rapidly braked for a semi truck that did not exist. Most of the instances the road ahead was completely clear. On one occasion this nearly caused the vehicle behind me to ram me.

20251006STEERING

The steering on the vehicle exhibits unusual resistance when on center above 40mph - sort of a 'sticking' feeling. To properly correct the vehicles lane position at Hwy speeds, driver needs both hands. To move the steering in these situations requires significantly more torque than normal, and when you have applied enough torque, the steering will suddenly move, making it easy to overcorrect.
