Electrical system faults dominate owner reports, with complaints spanning infotainment malfunctions and more serious incidents. Engine and steering complaints describe unexpected power loss while braking and steering wheels that lock or become very difficult to turn mid-maneuver. A smaller share of owners report powertrain roughness, including side-to-side sway and notable vibration at low to moderate speeds.
