Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Power door locks fail so doors will not open from inside or outside, sometimes forcing owners to enter through the passenger side.
  • Driver or passenger doors unlatch intermittently even after the lock is disengaged, requiring entry through the other side and use of the interior handle.
  • The power driver's seat reclines and tilts backward on its own while driving or after entry, obstructing the driver's view.
  • Roof seam sealant defects allow water intrusion, leading to rust forming beneath the paint near the roof channel.
  • No rear tow hitch was installed at the factory, which owners say creates a hazard near the fuel tank in a rear collision.
