Battery: the battery monitor system seems to be damaged. It keeps shutting down my systems saying to preserve battery. And when and if my sensors go off, they have a different sound as if it's not receiving enough power to notify me of potential danger. Also, when I'm listening to my radio with the engine off, the car shuts down everything giving a display indication that there's something wrong with the battery and electrical system. All systems seem to be weakened, and lacking full power and fully assisting in which it was intended and designed. Back-up camera: camera consistently goes black or blank when I'm in reverse. Sometimes it displays momentarily and then blacks out upon my reversing. There has been several incidents where I have come close to hitting someone backing out/up/in, as the rear view camera with blank out while doing so. Also at times there is no too close warning from the camera or sensors around. (note) please be advised that the above-mentioned does not in any way constitute, or is limited to the complete experience and or exposure to the safty ongoing issues that exsist. Thank you, for your immediate assistance.

The back up camera does not work. I don't know the exact date when it began not working, but it's been many months. This may be due to a faulty electrical or computer system. Occasionally, an error message will appear on screen which states the obvious -- that the camera is not working -- and to contact the dealer. I received a recall notice in the mail on May 9, 2025, but the repair parts are still not available (August 22, 2025), which is 15 weeks after I received the recall notice. This is an excessive amount of time to wait. Since so much time has passed, it seems quite possible that the manufacturer does not intend to ever repair this defect as it is an older vehicle. This is worthy of investigation. At the very least, a status update should be given to owners.

On multiple occasions when filling the car with gas the entire vehicle begins to shake and shuts off. There is no light or warning that comes on prior to this happening. During the malfunction a light on the left side of the control panel says to push the break for full power. However despite pressing on break it takes several attempts ( 5-10 ) to restart the vehicle. It stutter starts several times before starting and being forced into Drive. This only happens when re fueling. I have added gas treatments as suggested with no relief. Last night the car powered down completely when I arrived home. The lights would not come on nor would the key unlock the doors and the power locks would not work to unlock the doors. Although this did not happen on the road while driving, I am afraid for the possibility that it can. I will take the vehicle to be inspected as I see a similar complaint here but no specific recall for this issue .
