Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

Second-row and third-row seat headrests fail to lock into the upright position, often after using the Stow 'n Go feature, leaving passengers without proper head support.
Some owners report the headrest mechanism breaks internally, with plastic washers cracking after the seat is stowed and returned to position more than once.
One complaint describes the middle-seat latch release cable failing on both seats within a week, causing the seatback to slide freely forward and backward while driving.
Owners describe the rear tailgate popping open unexpectedly after the vehicle is locked and armed, with dealers unable to identify a cause.
A few complaints note that the non-adjustable, non-removable second- and third-row headrests prevent correct installation of child car seats.
