NHTSA complaint #10960069, filed 2017-03, 110,000 miles“The horn failed to work twice during the warranty period and was repaired by the dealer both times. The horn failed to work again shortly after it was out of warranty. Local dealer says there is no service bulletin on it being a known defect. The horn does work with the key fob. Problem is in the horn button in center of steering wheel. Sounds like a safety defect to me. I rarely use, maybe that's the problem.”

The 4x4, stabilitrak, ABS and emergency brake lights come on then it beeps repeatedly. Sometimes concurrently, sometimes not the air blower stops working as well.

NHTSA complaint #10592124, filed 2014-05, 86,236 miles“I was involved in a head on collision, where a car came around a bus into my lane . It was a clear cut case of who was at fault. My concern is that my air bag never deployed. There is a driver and passenger airbag in that model. If not for my seat belt , I would have gone through the windshield and the vehicle was totaled from the force. There are pictures I could forward of the accident. I wanted to know if there was any thing else I could do to address this issue. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10704170, filed 2015-04, 103,000 miles“I have had 2 problems with this vehicle. The first one was at 28000 miles, about 3 weeks after I bought the vehicle. The resistor for the heat/AC fan caught fire while I was driving at about 5 MPH in heavy traffic. The fire went out on it's own by the time I had room to pull over (about 15-20 seconds). I was unable to get the part replaced right away so I had to drive around in cold and icy conditions without even being able to run the defroster. The second problem was that at about 32000 miles my gas gauge broke. I had just filled the tank and was driving at about 65 on the highway. …”
