We didn't have the vehicle three weeks and had to have it towed to the dealership due to not starting. They had the vehicle for a week and couldn't figure it. They cleared the code, after keeping it for week. 6 days later it was towed for the issues, they currently still have the vehicle and they say they are not sure why it's happening. They can't get it to throw the codes, it works fine for them. Both time we went out to start the car after it sitting in the garage over night.

Periodically (couple times a week), the rear camera view does not turn off when the car is in drive. During the day, the fault means temperature, audio and navigation controls can't be used and the constant rear camera view in the center of the dashboard is distracting when the car is in forward motion. At night, the fault is dangerous because the glare of headlights from following cars dominates the large center of the internal controls. Several attempts by the dealership (to reset, reboot, update software) have not resolved the problem.
