Owner Complaints (7)
When you use your turn signal at night, all your lights randomly shut off completely—including headlights and cabin lights—leaving you unable to see the road. You can't find the light switch in the dark to turn them back on. This happens regularly and appears to be a known issue with a known fix that hasn't been addressed through a recall.

Your horn stopped working when you pressed the horn pad on your steering wheel, though it still works when activated by your key fob. The dealer found that the clock spring inside your steering wheel is defective, which is also affecting your airbag system. Replacing the clock spring should restore both the horn and airbag functionality.

When outdoor temperatures drop to 55°F or below, your engine misfires on cylinder 2, causing the check engine light to come on and the traction control to appear disabled on your display. You'll feel significant shaking and juddering when accelerating to 70 mph, and the engine light may flash. Once temperatures rise above 60°F, the problem disappears completely. The issue likely involves a faulty spark plug, ignition coil, or fuel injector for cylinder 2, or possibly a problematic engine coolant temperature sensor that's causing the engine computer to run incorrectly in cold conditions.
