Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passenger side window will not go down from driver side. Driver side tries not to go down. Both headlights went out days apart. Passenger heat does not work while driver and back heat works. Tire gage says rear tire pressure low when it means the front. When air is added the next day it says tire pressure low again. Power lift gate falling. These things happen while stationary and in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #10839618, filed 2016-03, 80,000 miles“Heater and A/C wasn't working correctly as hot and cold air weren't consistently blowing through the vents. Dealer stated the problem with the heater and A/C is due to a bad temperature actuator which will cost about $350 plus tax. They replaced the mode door actuator system in dec 2013 because no air was blowing through the defrost vents, which cost $415. Electronics keep failing and are expensive to repair/replace.”
