Recent owner reports
On an incline, the auto stop engages, and hill hold deactivates because engine is off. The vehicle rolls backwards between time of moving from brake to gas and before engine engages. Delay and lag time. This is a major hazard, the dealer will not address
After numerous weeks of troubleshooting the dealer finally told me the low pressure fuel pump is faulty. That part number is included in numerous recalls on other vehicles yet my vehicle is not covered. This is the 3rd faulty part on this car I have experienced. This also probably led to the starter failing just before this part failed. All in under 4 years of ownership and 76k…
72K miles on vehicle and twice it has shutdown the transmission and shifted into neutral, both events occurred at highway speeds. I believe the transmission control module is defective and I can no longer trust this vehicle on open roads or merge lanes which leave no room for error.
