I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT THE END OF MAY 2017, AFTER PUTTING ON ABOUT 500 MI WITHIN 4 WEEKS, A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT,LOOKED AT IT, AND CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY & SAID THERE WAS "SOMETHING LOOSE THAT NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED" AND THAT THE CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I DROVE THE CAR AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR OUT, TURNED IT AROUND AND BACKED IT UP TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, I WAS GOING SLOWLY (UNDER 5 MPH) THE BRAKED LOCKED UP AND THE CAR ACCELERATED …

Owner report 11103732 · 2018-06-25 (June 25, 2018)
THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE INTERFERES WITHOUT WARNING WITH THE DRIVER'S ATTEMPT TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, AND CAN MAKE THE DRIVER BELIEVE THE CAR IS OFF WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AND MOVE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE DRIVER BEGINS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. EXPERIENCE: I ENTERED THE DRIVEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. I PUSHED THE IGNITION STOP BUTTON AND THE CAR APPEARED TO TURN OFF AS EXPECTED. IN FACT, THE AUTO START/STOP SYSTEM HAD STOPPED THE ENGINE TEMPORARILY AT ALMOST THE EXACT SAME MOMENT I PRESSED THE STOP BUT…

THE CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES WERE INCONSISTENT WHEN DRIVING NEW, BUT NOT NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE DEALER IN THE FIRST ~2000 MILES. THE CAR WAS USED IN TRAFFIC AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED. BUT THEN IT FAILED, AND AS A RESULTANT AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE. ALERTED MANUFACTURER WITH NO RESPONSE. THE CAR HAS TAKEN OVER 5 MONTHS TO FIX, STILL WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TT *TR ..*BF. CONSUMER STATED THAT BRAKING IN THE NEW VEHICLE IS INCONSISTENT AND ALLEGES THAT HE WAS IN A…
