I have experienced THREE electronic failures on this vehicle in the 11 months of ownership and about 19000 miles. The first was a dead battery without obvious reason. I jumped it and it restarted - so far so good. The second was a failure of the electric lift mechanism. It would not open. Somehow the dealership "reprogrammed" something and it works OK now.
The third is the fact (today - a Sunday) the electronic parking brake will not release. I disconnected he battery ( pos. side) and waited for computer to re-boot. Still nothing! The video display also shows spurious information about "low visibility" despite a bright sunny day! The screen says "check owners manual" which was of no help. Plan to contact dealer tomorrow.
Update from Sep 4, 2018: The dealership identified the problem as “wiring harness.†This was replaced and a week later works “ok.â€
I was told, “we had another one same complaint†and the harness was the fix for that one too.
