Owner report 11565494 · 2024-01-14 (January 14, 2024)
UNKNOWN I fell victim to a wiretapping incident that is still under Federal investigation that began in my vehicle on June 23rd, 2023. This concern is in regard to life safety and loss of control of the vehicle on or around the same time, due to radio transmission feedback beeping coming from the passenger side speaker, as well as what sounded like an emergency response unit radio. The noise would not stop until I pulled the plug on the battery of the car as well as the fuse panel to the head unit. While driving the vehicle in Converse TX arou…

Owner report 11576079 · 2024-03-07 (March 7, 2024)
I was driving alone on city streets approx 35 mph when the car suddenly braked for no apparent reason. There was no one close ahead or (luckily) close behind me, but there could easily have been. There was no heads up warning, just sudden braking. I have not taken it to repair shop because I just don't have the time or capacity.

Owner report 11561475 · 2023-12-22 (December 22, 2023)
The actuators on the doors are failing, so the door locks are unreliable. I paid to have the front passenger door's actuator replaced at a cost to me of almost $700. Now I am having the same issue with the driver's side actuator, which means another $700 repair. I worry that the same thing will happen to the two back doors. To me, this is a quality issue. The car is barely 3 years old (i purchased it in August 2020). If I don't spend the money to get this fixed, I run the risk of getting carjacked or the car broken into. I have tried and failed…

Owner report 11534473 · 2023-07-25 (July 25, 2023)
Unknown, this is what I remember, As I was traveling on this highway I pushed the lane correcting button on because it was raining and I don't like being out in the rain. I had put on my Cruse control and after about halfway to the exit I turned the Cruse control off so that the vehicle could slow down and I could cost to the exit however out of nowhere my steering wheel starts pulling to the left so I tried to turn it back to align with the back of my truck and the steering wheel was stuck it would not move so, I braced myself for impact. I am…
