Electrical System
Filed May 12, 2026GA
Vehicle experienced ongoing safety-related driver assistance system failures beginning at delivery. The vehicle initially could not be delivered due to unresolved windshield and sensor concerns affecting driver assistance features. After delivery, the vehicle continued experiencing intermittent failures involving adaptive cruise control, lane assist, cameras, and related driver assistance systems. Warning messages remained active and the vehicle was repeatedly returned for repair. Multiple repair attempts were performed over a period exceeding 30 days, including windshield replacement, calibration attempts, and outside vendor involvement. The dealership later advised that an improper windshield/calibration issue was responsible for the failures. Because these systems intermittently malfunctioned, I lost confidence in the vehicle’s safety and reliability, especially during highway driving where adaptive cruise and lane assistance systems are intended to function safely.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
