Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The car will randomly start shuttering and powering down without warning. Every light imaginable on the dash is illuminated along with various pop up warnings on the DIC. When this occurs, the car will not move under its own power and it loses its ability to brake entirely. I was in the middle of an intersection this last time, thankfully a police officer was near and directed traffic around me until i was able to get the car taken to the nearest dealership. This is the third time I've had this happen, I had it looked at and they replaced an electric brake module etc but that clearly didn't work. I've read of a few other similar incidents on various forums. There aren't a lot of these cars produced so far but if there's cases already popping up, something isn't right.
