“Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident ð.

“Passenger side active head rest deployed suddenly while driving down the road on a hot day (90 degrees with heat factor 100+) Called dealer and they stated extended coverage for this expired June 13. This happened on July 28. They want to order parts, approx 170 USD and charge 108 USD labor. This is a common problem because of manufacturing with inferior plastic parts and it is violent when it pops apart unexpectedly.”Owner report · Seats · Jul 2025
