Was parked on a slight incline with the car completely off and keys out of ignition. My daughter, her cousin and I exited the car and were walking in front of it. As we got in front of it my car made a sound like it was about to start. The headlights came on and the entire vehicle jerked forward a bit. It almost hit us.

When the vehicle comes to a stop the headlights start to glitch, the radio goes off and a warning for the stabilitrak comes on as well as a power steering warning. Once the car comes to a stop intermittently it will go completely dead and the negative battery cable if tapped on will cause the vehicle to come back on with no issue. Battery has been replaced as new but issue still occurs

Vehicle is experiencing severe issues with the power when vehicle is in motion. On several occasions I have been driving down the road and the vehicle will all of a sudden, without warning shut down multiple essential components - including power steering, headlights, radio will go in and out, display screen will go off, turn signals, etc. Pretty much anything that takes power will fail. However the vehicle will still remain on (and not in aux mode) and acceleration will not be affected. Around the time that these issues began a warning light for stabilitrack came on the dash board and several more warning lights have come on since. This has occurred when vehicle has been on city streets and freeway including as I have been negating a turn. This has caused an extreme safety hazard as I have almost lost control of vehicle and run off the road or hit other vehicles head on during the failure.

A warning light came on for the airbag randomly. It evolved to the following issues: radio control panel going out with no volume control besides the steering wheel, static on the radio, a warning that park assist needed to be serviced (vehicle does not have park assist), headlights would not turn off upon the vehicle being turned off. The "solution" as there were so many errors that randomly started popping up (mind you, my car was serviced less than a month ago) is a $1500 change of a sensor or unplug the backup camera permanently. This clearly is a manufacturer defect, as why all of a sudden would the car suddenly think I have features that I don't even have on the car.

Within a month of buying this vehicle, the orange blinker reflector fell off and was just sitting inside the headlight. Because it was under warranty, the dealership fixed it. About two months letter, the same thing happened to the other side and my car was no longer under warranty. The only way to fix this is to change out the entire headlight. According to the dealership, it can't just be fixed. Both times this happened, the vehicle was stationary.
