2003: “I was backing down my drive way (about 200 ft.) and I heard a poping sound. Then as I started to drive down the road is was louder, sound came from the roof so I opened the curtain in front of the moon roof and it was all shattered. The car has always been garaged and the temp that day was in the low 40 degrees.”
NHTSA complaint #11290426, filed 2019-12, 172,000 miles2004: “The lock actuator on the rear hatch broke and I was unable to close the hatch or lock the vehicle. After dissembling the actuator there was a small plastic pin that broke that prevented the latch from engaging. I then had to pay over $400.00 to have it replaced for a plastic piece that probably cost less than $1 to manufacture.”
NHTSA complaint #10470769, filed 2012-08, 96,000 miles2005: “I was driving home and was stopped at a red light. I felt a jerk from under the hood then the check engine light came on. My car then began to drive very sluggishly and struggled to pick up speed. I made it home a few blocks away and had it towed to the shop where I was told I needed a new transmission. The codes I received were p1754, p1757, and p1759. I was told there was a recall for the 5 speed only. I would like to add that I have never had a check engine light on or had any problems wih my vehicle until now. I think it should be expanded to the awd as well.”
