“The automatic closing of the tailgate is hazardous and has closed on me several times. Car was parked and not moving every time leaning into the rear of the vehicle with feet under the bumper is enough to close the tailgate.. Turning around when near the bumper will cause it to close.one time I was knocked down tring to avoid the closing and fell and took several layers of skin off my shoulder and arm. Once it starts it will not stop even if a person tries to hold it.”

NHTSA complaint #11364032, filed 2020-10, 900 miles

“Driving down the highway on April 6, 2024 I hear a loud explosion and the passenger rear window had exploded sending glass flying everywhere. The window is completely exploded. Today was the first warm day that I had to turn the air conditioning on in the car and 5-10 min after I turned the air-conditioning on, the window exploded.”

“Car has auto lift and close for rear door. When loading rear or vehicle door will close without warning. This has happened twice, both times I was under door when ir closed, once it hit me it stopped and went back up, I almost fell down. Item 2. When washing rear of car rear door will open on its own while spraying door . If this would happen in an automatic wash it could cause serious damage or injuries to occupants. This can happen when car is off not running. Thanks.”
