Electrical System · at 97,000 miles · reported May 16, 2021
This vehicle has terrible battery issues. The battery will never stay charged for more than 2 days without driving it. The battery dies regularly and has left my family and I stranded on multiple occasions. I have had to replace the battery 6 times in 3 years. Each time I purchase a high end battery to try to mitigate the problem, but it persists. The battery starts out great, but over time is worn further and further down. This is an in going issue with many, many people that has never been resolved. This problem needs to be addressed and fixed. This the car my wife and daughter use, what if…
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 84,000 miles · reported Jul 7, 2020
4 days after purchasing the vehicle it broke down due to a leak in the engine, that was fixed. Cost a 1000 to repair, when this happened I was driving home and the car jump and started to smoke so I pulled over and got it towed. After getting the car back, I noticed that the alarm was going off for no reason. All day (It was parked). The only thing that got it to stop was taking out the fuse, but that shouldn't be happening in the first place. I replaced the fuse with a new one yesterday and this morning the alarm was going off in my garage. This car also has battery issues. I didn't drive it…

I had to put a solar panel in my vehicle to help with the vehicle from dying. The vehicle is still dead after three days. I cannot take a trip away for more than 3 days without my vehicle dying.
Air Bags · at 155,464 miles · reported Apr 1, 2019
I recently purchased the 2010 lr2 from a used dealership and the airbag light and seat belt light are on. The seat belt works just fine, but the light stays on (Even when a passenger is in the car and has their seat belt fastened). I saw that there was a previous recall on lr2's for my year about the airbags and I AM worried that they won't function if I get into a wreck because the light is on.
Unknown or Other · at 30,000 miles · reported Mar 1, 2018
