What owners say

Sentiment is sharply divided by model year and generation, with reliability being the dominant theme.

  • Very frequentCVT Transmission Failure (2014-2021 models)

    Complete failure, shuddering/juddering at low speeds, requiring full replacement. Linked to a class-action lawsuit and extended warranties.

  • Very frequentBuild Quality / Interior Rattles

    Persistent rattles, especially from the panoramic roof/headliner area; loose body panels (e.g., front fender); generally poor interior assembly.

  • RecurrentElectronic / Infotainment Glitches

    Main screen resolution failures requiring daily reboots; 360-degree camera failures; faulty front collision prevention/emergency braking; lane-keep assist ping-ponging between lanes.

  • RecurrentEngine Sludge / Oil Consumption

    Severe engine sludge leading to potential engine failure, often linked to extended oil change intervals. Notably mentioned in 2019-2020 models.

  • Recurrent9-Speed Automatic Transmission Problems (2022+ models)

    Hesitation, jerking, harsh shifts, and clunking; subject to technical service bulletins.
