Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Active head restraints suddenly deploy on their own while driving at low speed or even while parked, striking occupants in the head or neck.
  • Owners report the plastic clips holding the headrest in place fail, causing it to pop out without any collision or warning light.
  • Some vehicles roll forward or out of gear after being put in park, with owners exiting the vehicle believing it was stopped.
  • Exposed sharp edges near the rear brake light housing on the tailgate have cut owners' arms when the rear hatch is opened.
  • Ventilated seats reportedly blow hot air instead of cool air due to a wiring defect, and LED taillights stop working intermittently.
