After proceeding about1 block, my passenger airbag suddenly deployed. There was no passenger in my vehicle and nothing on the passenger seat, either.there were no other cars on the road.

NHTSA complaint #11001575, filed 2017-06, 136,000 miles“Both side door windows leak water. The leak occurs even during a rain storm. The car can just be sitting in the diveway and water will leak down the inside of the windows. This will cause mechanical failures to the door locks, windows and eventually cause mold / mildew to form. I didn't spend $ 31,000.00 to have a car leak, mold or rust prematurely. Please help in fixing this problem.”
