“Rear glass door came unglued at hinges damaging the struts and almost falling on my head. Dealer was contacted and replacing the glass door was suggested at $1500.00. Repairing attempted using glue and glass door came loose again. It was a near miss, could become a fatality. Main rear door struts were damage and the door almost hit me again.”

If I had children in the car this would've been extremely dangerous. Talking to others this is not an isolated incident. Problem #2 fuel gauge just stop working, low fuel light beeps constantly.
