Very common issues include infotainment module failures, failing suspension accumulators, cracked springs, squeaking/worn front bushings, dead accumulators, rattling downpipes, broken wheel speed sensor wires, and water pump failures.
Interior described as feeling cheap, using excessive hard plastic, suffering from squeaks and rattles, and having buggy infotainment software.
Value sinks faster than competitors due to reliability reputation and high production volumes, making it a poor investment.
Described as having a "hilariously bad" suspension that is too hard on high-speed compression and too soft on low-speed compression, making the car unsettled and "jerky" on imperfect roads.
Criticized for a droning, unmusical engine note at lower RPMs, with exciting sound only arriving at very high revs.
