What owners say
Verbatim reports filed with the United States safety regulator (NHTSA) by owners of this exact model year. Public record.
Vehicle came to a complete stop while driving and left me stranded 40 miles from home. The vehicle would not start with push button start and following diagnostics from dealership was found to have suffered multiple blown fuses to ECM. The technicians could not determine the cause of the failure.
The infotainment system in my vehicle randomly crashes at various times and often happens when the vehicle is in reverse with the backup camera active which is a safety issue. Outside of the crashes, there are often lags/delays with the backup camera in the infotainment system.
The infotainment system within my vehicle is problematic... At any given time the infotainment system will force reboot itself, freeze, freeze or delay when the backup camera is engaged, reboot when the backup camera is engaged. There seems to be no rhyme or reason when this happens and I cannot determine exact steps to reproduce the issues; it just happens.
