Owner report 11648375 · 2025-03-14 (March 14, 2025)

It turned out to be a faulty engine with bad bearings, & levers. Over time, got worse & left unseen causing it to officially blow. The shutdown modes prior were all left undetected or resolved by dealership service stations. After being…

Owner report 11654704 · 2025-04-15 (April 15, 2025)
The "Auto-stop" feature of the engine apparently automatically turns itself on every time the engine is started. there is no warning light or other indication that it is on except a very small light ON THE SWITCH TO SHUT OFF. The auto-stop function itself is inherently unsafe because it shuts the engine off and doesn't restart it until the operator removes his foot from the brake.... -sometimes it takes several seconds to restart. If you take your foot off from the pedal and then put it back on and the vehicle rolls back a bit, it may not star…

Owner report 11716292 · 2026-02-06 (February 6, 2026)
Prior to this incident, I had been having issues with my fuel management system give a “reduced acceleration” warning (codes P0087, P228B) in weather below 28-30F. It was in the shop 3 times prior: first time was “bad fuel”, second had my fuel rail and fuel filter replaced, and third time I had my high pressure fuel pump replaced (also had a rear crank seal leak). While approaching a stop sign, my vehicle gave me a check engine light with a “Reduced Acceleration” warning followed by several other warning messages and then ultimately lost power…
