Investigations revealed a potential blame in the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) wiring saddle. Due to improper directing amid gathering, the wiring saddle may rub against the motor mounting bracket over time.

This grinding can lead to wear or damage to the wiring, which in turn may cause the motor to suddenly lose power or shut down while the vehicle is in motion significantly increasing the risk of an accident.

Cause of the Problem

According to review documentation, the issue is manufacturing-related or maybe than software blame or driver abuse. If left unaddressed, the delayed scraped area of the wiring seems to hinder motor signals controlled by the ECU, driving to sudden slowing down without warning.
