Start my diagnosis →Master cylinder failure linked to a crash and injury in one case
Check engine light: On
One incident involving master cylinder failure and loss of braking power resulted in a crash and injury. A single documented death on file for this generation names the brake system as the component of concern, but the complaint record provides no narrative detail beyond that tag, so the link is not confirmed.
Often just past the warranty window
Check engine light: On
The dominant complaint category (~65% of all complaints): CVT transmission failures requiring full replacement, with failures reported as early as 50,000 miles, frequently just past the warranty window.
Forces the driver to coast to the roadside at 35-65 mph
Check engine light: On
Multiple complaints describe the vehicle suddenly losing power while driving at highway speeds, forcing the driver to coast to the roadside; one complaint states the vehicle 'lost power.while driving 55 MPH.transmission slipped out of gear.'
Distinct from the outright power-loss complaints
Check engine light: On
Violent jerking and hesitation during acceleration, specifically in merging and stop-and-go scenarios — distinct from the outright power-loss complaints above.
Requires manual override every drive cycle
Check engine light: On
A distinct transmission-linkage defect: the gear selector locks in park and must be manually overridden each time the vehicle is driven.
An emergency egress hazard
Check engine light: Off
Driver-side doors reported jamming closed, creating an emergency egress hazard — echoing the door-latch/escape-safety theme seen on other nameplates (e.g., Lincoln Town Car, Volvo XC90, Jaguar XJ).
The fuel pressure regulator bleeds off pressure overnight
Check engine light: Off
The fuel pressure regulator bleeds off pressure overnight. This is among the more frequently reported issues on this generation, with 43 owner reports on file.
The A/C condenser is damaged by road debris, resulting in a costly repair
Check engine light: Off
The A/C condenser is damaged by road debris, resulting in a costly repair. This is among the more frequently reported issues on this generation, with 13 owner reports on file.

The information on this page is for general educational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. It is compiled from aggregated owner-reported data and publicly available sources, not from an inspection of your vehicle. Symptoms described here can have multiple causes, and the presence of a commonly reported problem does not mean your vehicle has it. Repair cost ranges are estimates that vary by region, shop, vehicle condition, and parts availability. Recall and service campaign information may be incomplete or out of date — verify current recall status with NHTSA or your manufacturer.

Always consult a qualified technician before making repair decisions.
A single documented death is on file for this generation (2013 model, incident date April 8, 2016; brake system flagged as the component of concern), but NHTSA's own complaint record provides no narrative detail beyond a reference to an attached document that is not publicly available. Separately, widespread CVT transmission failure requiring full replacement as early as 50,000 miles — often just past the warranty window — is the dominant complaint category (~65% of all complaints).
