In owners' own words
Apple carplay and android auto disconnects at multiple locations while driving. It is due to wifi turning off automatically. And vehicle is been to dealership 3 times. But no resolution. Wifi turns off itself and carplay or navigation is interrupted. Every-time this happens and car needs to be pull over and hard reset the infotainment system to get the wifi back online. It started just after two months of purchase. Electrical system
The entertainment screen/backup camera screen turns on and off constantly. It will not stay on and shuts off completely after so many times of it turning on and off and doesnât turn back on unless you hold the power button down for 15 seconds but still continues the on and off. Nothing has been done to the screen for it to start doing this. Electrical system
On multiple occasions, while actively steering, I have gotten a warning on the dash to take over steering. Within seconds, the car brakes hard. I am typically in interstate traffic when this occurs.This happens when using cruise control. Speed does not matter as it has happened at 40 mph, 70 mph, and in between these two. Electrical system
