Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

Active head restraints deploy suddenly and unexpectedly, sometimes striking occupants in the back of the head during rear-end collisions or even during normal highway driving.
Doors, especially the driver's door, fail to close properly in cold temperatures below 20-30 degrees, with dealers unable to diagnose the issue.
Front bumpers detach from the vehicle at low speed without warning.
Window seals fracture and allow water to leak into the cabin during rain, with the problem recurring even after multiple seal replacements.
Airbags fail to deploy in low-speed crashes, resulting in whiplash and other injuries despite vehicle impact.
