Some describe headlight beams as too narrow, failing to light up curves or the sides of the roadway even on higher trims with projector headlights.
Multiple owners report windshields cracking without impact, starting at a top corner and spreading across the glass.
Several report the rear power sliding window shattering or imploding, sometimes while the rear defroster was running, at highway speed.
