Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

Door handles allow doors to open while the vehicle is in motion even when the locks are engaged, with no way to disable this from inside.
Driver-side door requires excessive force to close and lock properly, described by one owner as needing truck-door-level effort.
Moisture enters through door seals and the rear liftgate tail light area, leading to window freezing, handle failure, and unaddressed water intrusion.
Paint on the roof between the windshield and sunroof bubbles and later peels off in large chunks, with owners saying the issue appeared after the extended paint warranty period ended.
The liftgate obstruction sensor is set with high back pressure, raising concern about a pinch-point hazard for fingers and hands.
The spare tire has broken loose from its holder while driving over a speed bump, dropping into the path of another vehicle.
