The dominant pattern across owner complaints is engine vibration at a standstill. Owners consistently describe the vehicle shaking noticeably when stopped at a red light with the transmission in Drive, accompanied by unusually low idle RPMs. This symptom appears across multiple complaint categories, suggesting a single underlying behavior that owners experienced across powertrain, electrical, and steering contexts. A smaller share of reports involves steering concerns, also noted shortly after purchase.
