This is how multiple times this has occurred and the second time I’m reporting this. I entered my vehicle and started the engine. I needed to use GPS to reach my destination, so I was sitting in park while getting everything the address inputted. For no apparent reason I start getting messages: AEB limited Functionality Service Required, I do not have the active lane management functionality either, Service Headlights, Service automatic window wipers etc. I eventually can get these settings to go away by manually turning them on but not this time.

This is the third time this has happened to me. The second time I took it to the dealership for inspection and was told they could not locate any issues. The first time it happened, I had started my vehicle, and it was running for around 3-4 minutes while I got my child settled in the backseat. By the time I made it back to the drivers seat, I heard noises alerting me to issues. Multiple lights showed up on the dash, and when I went into the menu it would tell me system failure, and service required. Prior to this, there weren't any indicators as to some sort of failure was going to happen. After a few days I was able to manually reset the notifications.

On Feb 8th, 2022 the four wheel drive quit working giving message to service 4wd. The front tires turned and the back tired did not turn and the car did not move forward or backwards. If this would have happened in an area that was remote and no people around I would have not been able to get help. This is a safety issue as car was inoperable and could have stranded me in a remote location. Leased this vehicle on Dec 29, 2021 and issues started Jan 5th, the screen would not work was unable to control heat, radio, navigation, hands free, cruise control etc. Was in Tennessee where it was warm and no heat needed, headed back to MN to negative 30 degrees and no heat, could have froze if car would have stopped. With no heat in MN at negative 30 degrees it is unsafe to drive without heat. This is a big safety issue. Please help it was in service department Jan 18 - 24 and continued to have daily issues then in shop Feb 8 through April 14th, still having issues after picking it up.
