What owners report

  • Airbags failed to deploy in a crash despite a hard front-end impact at highway speed.
  • Window glass unexpectedly rises or drops on its own when opening or closing the doors, sometimes preventing the door from sealing in cold weather.
  • Engine valve cover gaskets and grommets dry-rot, letting oil into the cylinders and causing sputtering and misfiring.
  • Front-end popping and creaking noises trace back to a faulty front wheel bearing that also affects braking.
  • Transmission shifts hard between gears and hesitates before accelerating, with erratic cruise-control speed changes on hills.
  • Vehicle has stalled without warning at highway speed, later traced to a PCM failure that could not be diagnosed by an independent mechanic.
