ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The driver side smart window rolls up and down about a half inch when the vehicle is completely off sometimes causing a dead battery. In addition when driving the window will also Crack open and do the same thing causing loud noise which can easily distract the driver while the vehicle is being operated.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When stepping on the throttle to quickly merge into traffic it delays a few seconds and after removing foot off gas pedal it continues to accelerate and sticks for a few seconds. Which requires me to brake. This is Not SAFE!! The dealer has never heard of this problem but it is listed online as a problem.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON ME FORCING ME TO PULL OVER THE CAR LOST POWER.VERY VERY UNSAFE. I PULL OVER AND WAS ABLE TO PRESS THE PUSH START AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATE IT CUT COMPLETELY OFF AGAIN LOSING ALL POWER I END UP GETTING THE VEHICLE TOWED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TOW THE POWER CAME BACK ON THEN LOST ALL POWER AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY SO I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY HOWEVER THAT WAS NOT THE CASE TRAVELING BACK HOW THAT SAME DAY IT CUT OFF TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY SCARING THE YOU KNOW WHAT OUT OF ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE POWER COMPLETELY DEAD SO I TRIED PLAYING WITH THE BATTERY AND POWER CUT ON SO I CRANKED UP THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO WORK THE POWER CUT OUT AGAIN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX.
