Latest reports
- Steering
“Check engine light sensor came on in mid-May which is the result of a faulty thermostat, also triggering a "Steering Assist is Reduced" message on the dashboard which I consider to be a safety issue.”
- Steering
“Thermostat failure causes steering assist to be reduced. This leaves more difficult steering especially in an emergency situation, thus a safety concern.”
- Visibility/wiper
“My windshield has a lot of spider and has never been hit with anything. They spread from the bottom up”
