“The vehicle shakes violently when applying the brakes over any bump or pothole at slow speeds. This also extends the stopping distance for the car. It has no warning lights. This is a brand new car with only 1200 miles. The problem was able to be confirmed by the dealer but no fix yet.”

It can happen when braking hard, soft, small bump, big bump, it doesnât seem to matter. It is brand new and I took it into the dealership when there was about 1500 miles on it. They didnât find anything wrong.”

At a glance
- Next to the 2024
- The 2025 is too new for a fair per-year comparison. It has 248 complaints so far; the 2024, on sale longer, has 386.
- Top problem
- One problem takes up much of the file: brake wear, named in 96 of the 248 complaints (39%). Brake wear tends to show up early. Of the 16 owners who gave a mileage for it, half were under about 5,000 miles and a quarter under about 2,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 11 of the 248 complaints (4%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 8 reports mention a crash, 1 mentions a fire and 7 people were hurt. The reports record 1 death. The most crash reports, 5 of 8, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Seat belt and airbag each have a recall on the same system (25V-607; 26V-034). Brake wear has none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Complaints are still climbing. 2025 brought 134, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 113 more have come in.
