| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Warnings problems | |
| Adaptive Cruise Control problems |
Loss of acceleration. Errors. Turbo failure before 3,000k miles. Received five errors alerts at once: 1. Emergency assist not available 2. Engine speed max 4000rpm 3. Error: drive system currently unavailable 4. Error: cruise control system 5. Travel assist currently unavailable. Initial occurrence was misdiagnosed at dealership as a computer system failure. They cleared the alerts but not the problem. Returned to service a second time (currently there) and they identified the turbo needs full replacement and it is not safe to drive. No eta on a fix “due to parts back ordered”; potentially mid-March.
Started having issues immediately after purchase with turbo issues. Which force the car into am rpm limited limp mode. Made 3 trips to dealer with no resolution. The car has very limited power and is unsafe to drive. We have been asking for a loaner for a couple weeks and are finally being granted one. There seems to be no time for a resolution. The vehicle has basically not functioned correctly since buying it.
