Difficulty accelerating in congested stop-and-go traffic and/or when pulling out from a stop sign or traffic light. It's as if the car does not get any gas, and then it lunges forward. We were on a four-week cross-country trip and felt very unsafe. Four dealerships have not been able to duplicate the problem or diagnose or repair it.

Side lane warning system detects a vehicle when there is no vehicle there. Apple carplay system causes an extreme echo on remote phone, therefore hands free car phone is not possible. It is dangerous to have to disconnect the phone from the usb cord and call people manually.

After 650 miles: Merging onto a highway: Engine rattled. Engine died. We coasted to the shoulder. We stopped. I put the vehicle in park. Smoke was coming from under the hood. Looking underneath, we saw the car was on fire. Initially the fire was under the engine. We got away from the car and called 911. The fire department came and put it out. By this point it burned the front 2/3 of the car. The car got towed to an automotive towing place.
