2018: “I was driving down the highway at 70mph, no other vehicle in front of me. The movable section of the sunroof exploded with a loud bang and glass raining down on me and my passenger. All widows closed, sunroof closed, sunshade open. 60sunny morning. I'm extremely confident that nothing hit the roof. I hab never had an issue with the roof and actually seldom open it....”
NHTSA complaint #11406690, filed 2021-04, 22,500 miles2017: “Terrible blind spot resulting from side mirrors and roof pillars when turning right or left. Worse on right turns. Can't see pedestrians. The mirror and roof pillar creates a 24 inch wide blind spot. Making it worse is the fact that the power seat doesn't go high enough for me to see over mirrors( I am 5'8 ). No accident, only close calls and surprises.”
NHTSA complaint #11207469, filed 2019-05, 15,000 miles2019: “At speeds above 40 MPH with both hands and a good grip on the steering wheel I frequently receive the display warning keep hands on steering wheel and a loud audio warning. The loud warning is not only annoying but startling to everyone in the car. If I take my hands off the wheel the message goes away. If I leave my hands on the wheel and even grip tighter the warning continues until there is a message that the lane keeping assist system will be disabled temporarily. This warning may repeat at 30 second intervals or less. …”
