Engine stated overheating. Sometimes will not start and acts as if it will shut off while driving. I was told the active grille shutter failed on the car and have only had it for 3 yrs. I see a lot of review on these parts failing meaning they were made poorly. You don't know if the vehicle is going to cut off on you while your driving due to the air not being filtered to the engine. I feel like this is a safety hazard and should not have failed this fast.

Have had vehicle approx 1 yr. While driving 45mph on city street check engine came on with engine overheat msg and engine cooling sensor as well. Replaced sensor and while driving the next day on highway at 70 mph to see if the system readjusts itself to the new sensor message came on again with added service elecrtrical throttle control msg and check engine lights again. I was near oreill and it produced codes for thermostat, cooling sensor, system performance, etc. Messages are not on screen now but check engine lights still on. I believe it triggers when cooling temp reaches appx, 189 f. After doing some research many others are experiencing these issues and seems the problem escalates to much worse such as shutting off while driving. No recalls thus far but many people anticipating someone needing to die before something is done. I drive with my children almost all of the time and am very concerned.

Engine over heated, vehicle stalled on me in front of a mechanic shop luckily. Vehicle wouldn't start for nothing. I try over and over to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. You can also start smelling burning smell coming from under the hood of the engine compartment . Several times vehicle couldn't start. Left the vehicle. The next day, mechanic came over and check the vehicle out and check the water, oil, and everything else and did a engine check and ten codes came up and something regarding cam shaft. Vehicle took several attempts to run again.
