Suspension Noise (Knocking/Rattling)

Persistent knocking or rattling noises from the rear suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces. This has been reported even after dealership attempts to resolve it, suggesting potential underlying issues with chassis components or assembly. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.

HVAC System / Defroster Malfunction

A recall addresses a software fault in the HVAC system that can lead to the heater shutting down and the windshield defroster becoming inoperative in cold or damp conditions. This significantly impairs visibility. Estimated repair cost: $0 (under recall).

12-Volt Battery Drain / Electrical Issues

Reports of 12-volt battery failures and no-start situations, sometimes linked to connectivity features or software glitches. ECU defects have also been cited as a cause for electrical instability. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $500 (battery replacement).

Wheel Hub Bolt Looseness (Recall)

An early, critical recall involved hub bolts that could loosen, potentially leading to wheel detachment. While primarily affecting earlier models, it's essential to verify completion on any 2023-2025 vehicle. Estimated repair cost: $0 (under recall).

Charging System Glitches

Issues with Level 3 fast charging initiation and occasional charging session failures have been reported. Battery preconditioning problems and sudden power dips during charging are also noted. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,000+.
