Owner Complaints (6)
Your car is experiencing multiple electrical issues: the engine dies and won't restart after shutting off, the backup camera doesn't work even when the fuse is present, and the radio doesn't work. These problems appear to be wiring-related and may require a full electrical system diagnostic to identify where the fault is occurring.

Your car's door lock actuators aren't working properly, so only two of your five doors can lock and unlock. This is a security concern since passengers can't properly secure all the doors. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the faulty door lock actuators on the affected doors.

Your car needs a jump start every morning even though you replaced the battery. You discovered that removing the radio fuse allows the car to start, suggesting the radio is draining the battery overnight. The shop couldn't identify the root cause, and the problem appears to be getting worse with additional electrical components now draining power as well. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the electrical system to find what's causing the parasitic drain and repairing or replacing the faulty component.

THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEM ON THE DOORS STARTED CLICKING, WHEN I STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE OTHER DOORS TO LOCK, BUT THE RIGHT DOOR STOPPED WORKING. ALSO THE OVERHEAD NIGHT LIGHT IS NO WORKING. THE CAR ISTOTALLY DARK AT NIGHT WHEN I OPEN THE DOORS.
SOMETIMES WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE ALL OF THE DOORS LOCK WITHOUT ME USING THE FOB.I DID HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE,BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE MY ISSUE.SO WHEN I GET MY OIL CHANGE I MAKE SURE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS DOWN,SO THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK ON THE MECHANIC WITH THE KEYS INSIDE.I ALSO FEEL THAT MY CAR DOESN'T GET ENOUGH MILES TO THE GALLON AND IT SHOULD OF BEEN INCLUDED IN THE LAST RECALL. *TR
SEE OID 10434752. SAME ISSUE. HAD PROBLEMS GETTING VEHICLE INTO PARK. THAT ISSUE APPEARS RESOLVED. HOWEVER, ONE DAY THE STEREO WAS STAYING ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. TWO DAYS LATER, THERE WAS NO AUDIO FROM THE STEREO, GPS OR BLUETOOTH. THEY ALL APPEAR TO BE WORKING (RADIO CHANGES STATIONS/VOLUME, GPS OPERATES NORMALLY AND I CAN MAKE CALLS USING BLUETOOTH), THERE IS JUST NO AUDIO OUTPUT. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY DID NOT DO ANY DIAGNOSTICS ASIDE FROM TURNING ON THE STEREO BEFORE TELLING ME THE STEREO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, FACTORY OR EXTENDED. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME OTHER UNUSUAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES LIKE THE TURN SIGNAL REMAINING ON AFTER THE LEVER WENT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND THERE BEING A DELAY OR COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. *TR
