Driving on several occasions and the adaptive cruise control has completely stopped working while driving at highway speeds on numerous occasions. A dealership replaced the cruise control system. There are serious electrical problems with this car. Sometimes the cruise will stop working, the air doesn't work correctly, the screen will randomly get hot, shut off, glitch, buttons on steering wheel will randomly stop working, SOS system will randomly go off. Three dealerships have told my wife and I we are stupid and don't know how to work the car. Can provide pictures and videos but dealerships can never replicate the issue.
