“Engine seized (failed) just under 90k miles. I bought this car used in 2021 with only 7k miles on the vehicle and I've had it serviced as recommended by the manufacturer. The engine failed without warning and left me owing $23k on a useless vehicle. The manufacturers warranty was expired, so I'm left holding the bag and paying for a useless vehicle to remain in my garage until the loan is paid off in another 3-years.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2024

“My child was tangled in the rear seat belt while the car was parked. Every time we tried to get some extra slack in the seat belt it would continue to get tighter and squeeze her around her waist. The seat belt would not release even after turning the car off the belt continued to stay locked and any slack would be pulled into the chamber to put her in tighter pain. The only way to free her from the car was to cut the seat belt this is clearly a defect in the safety portion of the car.”Owner report · Seat Belts · Nov 2020
