The most frequent and concerning complaints relate to the service brakes. Owners report spongy pedals, extended travel, and even complete brake failure. Issues can arise around 59,100 miles and up to 162,000 miles. The brake actuator is critical for both hydraulic and regenerative braking systems. Estimated repair cost: $1,500 - $3,000.

Electrical System: Infotainment/Touchscreen

Frequent reports of the touchscreen freezing or becoming unresponsive, particularly in extreme temperatures. This is often attributed to a poorly soldered circuit board connection. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $1,200.

Electrical System: General

Intermittent issues include the car not starting, dim lights, windows not rolling down from the driver's side, and the car turning back on after being shut off. A weak or failing 12V battery can be a contributing factor. Estimated repair cost: $150 - $300.

Fuel/Propulsion System

Complaints include sudden acceleration and loss of power, sometimes linked to hybrid system failures leading to vehicle shutdown. Estimated repair cost: $1,000 - $3,000.
