Consumer Description
When driving on the highway after 1-2 hours, message pops up "Stop safely. Vehicle will shut off soon." Car engine immediately turns off and driver must navigate to shoulder with unresponsive vehicle. Once stopped, "Service charging system" message appears on screen. This has happened twice to my family, almost causing multiple crashes as we navigate across traffic with a rapidly decelerating car and children in the back seat, subsequently stranded on the side of a major highway. The only precursor to total shutdown is the air conditioning goes from cold to warm. Have had it at 2 dealerships 4 times and they say they cannot reproduce the issue because they do not have anyone who can drive it for 2 hours.
