Vehicle failed to start and a jump is required to start the vehicle for the first time on 10/6/2026. This has now happened numerous times and at times when the vehicle's power train batteries are charged. An small portable charging device has been purchased to jump the vehicle which eliminates the need to call for roadside assistance. Roadside assistance has take over 2 hour to response.

I was driving in heavy rain on a busy highway (I4) and the lane assist pulled me off the road to the road hand side and then cut across all lanes of traffic to the left hand side. It also engaged emergency braking going forward when there was no reason to do so. Many times when I am backing up, it's engaged emergency breaking when there is no risk of collision.

ICCU failure. I charged overnight at my home L2 charging as usual. I backed out of my garage and heard a loud pop. Almost immediately an “check electrical” warning came up.

The car had all previous checks on ICCU performed (per mailed recalls) and was updated and passed each time.
