Purchased this 2024 NX in October 2024. Since purchase the CarPlay aspect of the car where you can talk to text and voice call has not been functioning normally. It cuts in and out of bluetooth so if I am on a hands free call with someone, sometimes it cuts over to the phone randomly and won't connect to the car.

My son and I were almost killed the other day because the engine of my 1 year old car failed. We were in the middle of 6 lanes of rushing highway traffic when the car stopped accelerating and came to a dead stop. I had just had the car serviced 10 days before and didn't feel, hear or see anything hit my car. The message on my dashboard said "go to the dealer" when it should have said "pull over immediately, turn off your car and call for help". The dealership told me that a rock must have gone t

I don’t know how the dealer got it started but I have been intermittently boosting it to start. This happens whether the car sits a day or more. The last frequ
