Most reported problems

Unknown or other. 10 complaints^[3]. These reports do not point to one named part, so we keep this group short.
Forward collision avoidance. 10 complaints^[2]. Owners describe a warning light for the automatic braking system that comes on and goes off with nothing ahead of the car. Some say repeat shop visits did not settle it, and they say they are unsure whether the safety system is working.
