Most Recent Complaints
While driving the transmission started driving rough and the car was stuck in ev mode. Wouldnt even go back to hybrid mode. I kept driving until all my battery range was exhausted and lost acceleration and had to pull over the side of the highway. It was late at night so there was no one around or behind me, otherwise I would have been hit. Once stopped the car would not move at all so I called a tow to get me off the highway. I was away from home and had to tow it 120 miles back to the local dealer. The engine clutch actuator failed and ruined my transmission and left me stranded in the middle of the night!

Many times, when I back out of my driveway into the intersection in front of my house the vehicle hesitates for several seconds when shifted from Reverse to Drive. I am in a situation where I cannot accelerate if needed out of the intersection. This is a safety issue in my opinion. The dealer was not able to replicate the problem, even though it happens frequently and has not provided a solution. One time, on a long road trip, while climbing a grade the vehicle could not achieve normal highway speeds (could only get to 20-30 mph). Big rigs were right behind the vehicle and were not happy having to slow down. Again creating a big safety hazard.
