I'm stopped at a street, waiting to turn on a main road. I just have a stop sign, but the cross traffic doesn't have to stop. I start to turn out when there's an opening, and my car stalls for a few seconds. Sometimes it's longer, sometimes it's shorter. This has happened multiple times. It my car doesn't go quick enough, I could get hit. I've noticed this is the worst when I have it in eco mode. This exact thing happens when I'm also trying to accelerate once I've merged onto a highway. It's like my car is stopping when I'm trying to accelerate to get to the pace of the traffic on the highway.

The vehicle hesitates when coming out of turns and rolling stops when attempting to accelerate. More frequent when in eco mode, is an issue to a lesser degree in other driving modes.

I was driving down the highway about 70 mph approximately 4:45 am when I heard a loud explosion. My middle panel of my panoramic sunroof exploded causing a circular hole in the sunroof initially which eventually caused the entire middle panel to break a part. There were no motor vehicles around me at the time. I have attached the repairs for my automobile.

Backup camera goes dark during operation, usually right after turning on the car. This can cause an accident if the driver can not see while backing up.
