What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
In a passenger-side front collision at 25mph, no front collision warning was given, and the automatic braking system did not engage. Fire broke out inside the vehicle next to the floorboard beside the front passenger seat (bottom of B-post) almost immediately upon impact.
Rear ended another car and emergency brake never went on. Got a beeping noise after the car in front of me was hit.
Appr [XXX] 2023, I began having trouble with the safety futures such as: 1.Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) (It has been working randomly). 2.Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) (It has been working randomly). 3.Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) (It has been working randomly).
The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would vibrate without warning, causing her to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the service mechanics could not duplicate the failure.
No indication of my airbags being defective but they did NOT deploy i the accident and I suffered injuries as a result, including a broken rib from the seatbelt. The EMTs at the scene were shocked the airbags did not deploy and encouraged me to get this evaluated as it is a 2020 vehicle.
I believe that the lane assist feature malfunctioned and cause the vehicle to collided head on with on coming traffic.. The car took over control of the steering and instead of nudging the car to the right during a curve on the road it overpowered the driver and pulled the car left into traffic at 40 mph.
