On the powertrain side, multiple owners report failure of the ACD/AYC pump, the system that manages the active rear differential and stability control. Owners describe the tarmac warning light flashing continuously on the instrument cluster, and in some cases the pump stopping altogether, requiring replacement. One owner noted the failure occurred after the vehicle sat unused for an extended period. On the fuel side, two owners report detecting a strong gasoline smell, with one tracing the source to a leak at the top of the fuel tank near the fuel pump, fumes were noticeable both inside the vehicle and in an enclosed garage after a fill-up.
