My switch on drivers door started on fire right after I purchased vehicle from third party. There was no warning I just smelled smoke while driving and pulled it outOwner report · Electrical System · May 2026
While stopped at a light engine turned itself off with every warning light went off. Glad this didn't happen with I was driving at highway speed as I lost all systems.Owner report · Engine · Aug 2024
Headlights go out on there own and may come back on a few minutes later but right back out again. The vehicle had this as a recall but if it was repaired the repair is not working. The manufacturer is claiming the recall expired, obviously without them making contact to do the repair. Now they think it's good business practice to ignore their problem and put customers lives at risk.Owner report · Exterior Lighting · Jun 2023

I rolled my driver's window down this morning and tried to roll it back up and it acted like it didn't want to go back up. It started to go up and then it stopped after a few seconds and I tried hitting the button again and nothing happened. Then I hit the button again and it started to go up but very slowly then it stopped again. I did this for a bit until the window went all the way up. This has happened a couple other times also. Today was the 1st time that it really did not want to go back up. The vehicle was stopped in a parking lot at that time.Owner report · Electrical System · Jan 2020
