Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

Falcon wing rear doors and front doors fail to open or close consistently, sometimes leaving occupants unable to get children out of car seats.
Driver's seat unexpectedly moved backward while driving after a button behind the second-row seat was pressed, causing the driver's feet to slip off the pedals.
Front trunk (frunk) lid has opened on its own while the vehicle was moving, blocking the driver's forward view.
Second and third row seating lacks proper LATCH tether anchor placement, making it difficult or unsafe to secure child safety seats.
Front driver-side door has opened unexpectedly while parked or in traffic, and in one case a door failed to latch closed at highway speed.
Seat occupancy sensor failed to detect aftermarket child car seats, and the issue was not resolved after a dealer diagnostic visit.
