The left headlight projects three dark shadows on the road surface along the left edge and middle of the road in front of the vehicle Someone walking or standing on the side might not be visible and when the vehicle is turning to the right the shadows flow along the very edge of the roadway obscuring anything in its path. The car has been to the dealership twice and they verified that the shadows due exist and are operating as intended.

Second day of buying the vehicle stopped suddenly in the highway forcing me to turn to the emergency lane and gravel.Ounce stopped, tried to return to the highway and stpopped suddenly in several ocasions.Noticed the presence of the emergency braking system was on in the dash.Turnned it off and resume my trip.When i leaved the highway it was turnned on again and no signs,but in the middele of the light it did again stopping the transit.It continued doing so even the following day that i took it to the dealer. Incidentaly it also happened to one of their technitians. This could have provoked in several ocasions a disastrous accident.The new wheels also got scratch apparently during the forcefull brakings.Clearly not a car to turst.They confirmed the defect was in the sonars of the car that where fallin of.

Reading this record

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
