What owners report

  • Rear convertible-top window glass separates or becomes unglued from the soft top fabric, sometimes while the car is just parked in a garage.
  • Rear window detaches from the convertible top frame while driving at highway speeds, creating noise and a draft.
  • Sunroof glass has cracked or fractured while the vehicle sat parked.
  • Airbag warning light stays on, in one case traced to rodent-damaged wiring and a failed airbag module.
  • Owners report long waits for Takata airbag recall parts, with dealers unable to give a repair timeframe and one airbag disabled entirely, leaving the car undriveable.
