Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The airbag light turns on at the beginning when a child or a light load is in the passenger's seat. It then turns off once I start going. I don't know if that means that it is on or off and am concerned. Secondly, I recently had to repair the runner on the drivers side back sliding door. The wire that went through the middle of it was in jeopardy of getting damaged if I didn't. I had to pay $350 to get this repaired. It looks like I'll have to be repairing the passenger's side in the future as it is showing signs of deterioration.”

When it is cold the hatch will open appear to come to a stop in the open position and then on its own will close. It does not sense when a person or object is in the way and will continue to close. It will also close and reopen when you attempt to close the hatch electronically. …”
