Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The following systems are not functioning or malfunctioning Forward Collision Warning with light braking function Pedestrian Warning with City Collision Mitigation Active Blind Spot Detection Rear-end collision preparation Parking collision warning

NHTSA ID 11671176 · filed Jul 3, 2025

I purchased all available packages which include pedestrian warning in rear and front, collision warning and automatic breaks, rear collision warning, etc… none of the systems have worked except for the parallel parking assist but now it is starting to malfunction and apply the breaks 100% while I am driving or parking causing near collisions and inability to to move my car while on the road. I also purchased 5G cell service in the car and it has no cell service but says it does however it forces me to use my phone to connect to cellular service through the car. This has created many issues, one being that the gps of my car is off by a few miles to many miles, the navigation system telling me to go the wrong way, requiring me to focus on getting my phone to connect to the car while driving and causing dangerous situations.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
