Battery failure after car wasnât driven for a few days. Left me stranded and had to get the vehicle jumped in order to take it into the dealership. If this had occurred during inclimate weather it could have placed me and my family in danger. This is the first failure we experienced since owning the vehicle. Dealership cannot replicate and says they cannot find a parasitic draw. No official warning prior to incident to occurring however the vehicle sounds like it cycles constantly while being turned off and sitting in the garage. Dealership replaced battery

Battery failure after car wasnât driven over the weekend. Left me stranded and had to get the vehicle jumped in order to take it into the dealership. If this had occurred in I climate weather it could have placed me and my family in danger. This is the second such failure we have experienced since owning the vehicle. I purchased and now carry a battery jump starter for a new vehicle for fear of being stranded. That is outrageous for such an expensive and new vehicle. Dealership cannot replicate and says they cannot find a parasitic draw. No official warning prior to incident to occurring however the vehicle sounds like it cycles constantly while being turned off and sitting in the garage.…

The engine shut off during the automatic stop/start cycle but did not restart as expected. We had difficulty restarting it, leaving us unable to move in traffic until it eventually restarted.

While crossing an intersection, at low speeds (<5mph) the wagoneer immediately switched to park due to a failing auto park safety system. It left us stranded in the middle of the road while the car required two shut offs and restarts, all while watching cars drive by us. This has occurred twice in intersections, twice at stop signs, and three times pulling out of our driveway in the past three months.
