“The vehicle air bag sensor in passenger seat is faulty. Shows airbag off when passenger is in seat. The front/passenger door wire harness is too tight which end result is both windows do not work because the harness wires have snapped due to them being drawn so tight....

NHTSA complaint #10598001, filed 2014-06, 89,000 miles“When driving the vehicle slows down, it feels like the brakes are applied on their own. The service stabiltrak light blinks, stabilitrak off, and traction control off flash. It feels as if the wheels do not slow at the same time. The vehicle makes an awful noise.”
NHTSA complaint #11269958, filed 2019-10, 138,000 miles“I had to replace my tires very early on due to premature wear (I think about 35k miles) so that is the first issue. After changing my tires, I noticed the vehicle's traction control seems to fail. I will be at a dead stop and go to accelerate when my tires slip and the traction flashes. I had my tires looked at and they were deemed to be fine. Now that it is snowing, it was at its worst today. It was fishtailing while I was driving on snow/icy roads and the tires won't grip the road at all for the first 400 feet or so every single time I go from a stop. …”
