I purchased the vehicle on 12/21/24, and I now have a check engine light with a code related to "The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Fuel Management System used to maintain, control, and monitor fuel consumption."

Owner report 11655774 · 2025-04-21 (April 21, 2025)
While driving the information system screen that shows the speedometer, fuel center, radio, and displays go completely black and stay off for 30 seconds. They will restart and come back on. It will then stay on and then continue to flash on and off throughout driving. This poses a risk because I am not able to see any speedometer, see anything such as the distance between vehicles that show for safety and also causes me to think that car is shutting off each time it happens. There was no warning lights that pop on or any indication that it is g…

Owner report 11661382 · 2025-05-16 (May 16, 2025)
When driving my whole dashboard including the radio goes black. I brought the car in December 2024 and the first time it happened I thought I was tripping and said if it happened again I was going report it. Well yesterday it went black on me twice in one day two different times and that is scary because I was on the highway and didn’t know what was going on. This is a brand new car in it should not be doing this.
