Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Power sliding doors close unexpectedly on occupants, including a child's head, after the pinch sensor fails to stop or reverse.
  • Second-row seats fold on their own while a child is seated in them, without any safety lock to prevent the stow-and-go mechanism from engaging.
  • Driver's side sliding door sticks or gets stuck, sometimes traced to a failed door latch that required replacement.
  • Hood latches release while driving at highway speed, causing the hood to fly up and strike the windshield, shattering it and blocking the driver's view.
  • Headrests split apart and strike front occupants with force during normal driving, with a false airbag warning appearing on the dash despite no collision.
