AIR BAGS
PASSENGER DOOR PANEL WORKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS CAUSED THE UPPER PART TO PULL AWAY FROM ITS MOUNTS AND IS EXPOSING THE SIDE AIRBAG LEAVING IT EXPOSED TO ADDITIONAL HEAT AND ELEMENTS. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THE ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DISCHARGE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TOUCH SCREEN UCONNECT STEREO IS DELAMINATING WHICH MAKES THE DISPLAY HARD TO SEE WHICH ALSO ALLOWS HUMIDITY TO ENTER THE GAP AND MAKES THE STEREO FLIP BETWEEN SETTINGS (RADIO, NAV, SEAT HEATING CONTROLS, CLIMATE CONTROL) AND PROCEEDS TO RANDOMLY CLICK THE TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE BUTTONS. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTIONS AND HAS RESULTED IN A FROZEN TOUCH SCREEN WHILE DRIVING (WHICH RENDERS THE CLIMATE CONTROLS DEAD AS WELL AS BACKUP CAMERA, NAVIGATION AND THE STEREO). AFTER TAKING THIS TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS PAST MY WARRANTY WHICH MEANS THIS IS AN OUT OF POCKET FIX.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DURING MY TIME DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT BUT RECENTLY AFTER REACHING 23,500 MILES IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY AS IN. SLOWING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELERATING IT WOULD LOOSE RPM THEN GO UP THEN IT HARD SHIFT UP UNTIL THE 4 GEAR. PUTTING IN REVERSE IT WOULD MAKE A ROCKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. TO STOP IT I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. I BROUGHT IT UP TO MECHANICS THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP, AS SHE WAS ENGAGING THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR. SHE IS UNSURE IF WHEN SHE TURNED CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, BUT EITHER WAY THE BRAKE SHOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF. THEN WHEN THE POLE WAS HIT, ALL THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EXCEPT THE PASSENGER LOWER AIRBAG. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND I HAVE A HURT ANKLE, KNEE, AND HIP. WHY WOULD ALL AIRBAGS GO OFF EXCEPT ONE IF THE IMPACT WAS DIRECTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR? THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING WHEN SHE NOTICED IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HIT ME. THANK GOD MY SUNROOF SHADE WAS PULLED FORWARD OR ELSE GLASS WOULD'VE BEEN COMING AT MY INFANT DAUGHTER AND MYSELF AT 70 MPH. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A FREAK EVENT THAT HAPPENED, I HAD TO PAY $500 TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS READING THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME A SUNROOF FROM MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAS EXPLODED.
