What owners say
This is the second time the car does not register that is in parking and the motor is off. The electric system does not shuts off, everything that is electric stops working, as well as the door locks, which if your are inside the car it is very dangerous because even to unlock the door manually is hard. The car won't unlock with the electric key, the radio stopped working, and the rear view camera as well. The car keeps saying to put on parking because it does not register that it is on parking and it will beep the whole time without shouting off causing the battery to die completely. I dropped of the car at the dealer on Tuesday June 21 around noon time, but I have not heard anything from them. Today is June 23rd I called them at 9:46 am, but they have not returned my phone call yet to let me know what is wrong with the car. Prior to this incident with the electric system, the car will make strange noises and immediately after the breaks vibrate. I am concerned about my safety.
The trunk no longer opens automatically when pushing the button on remote key and/or trunk button inside the car. Additionally, the car's display system no longer operates properly and when touching the screen to select an option, it operates a different function then pressed. Such as. Selecting volume up might change the radio station instead. When pressing the screen to select a different mode for music, screen went completely black while navigating (car in motion) and was no longer operable. The rear view camera has failed as well and when the vehicle is put in reverse, there is merely a blue screen and no visual of the rear. I had an error message display on the screen on 15 july 20, but I am uncertain if this is relatable.
Back up camera flickers and goes to a blue screen
Knocking in steering column, placing in gear (park/reverse) automatic locks not always working and back up camera blue and glitching.
