Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Power sliding doors fail to latch or reopen unexpectedly while closing, sometimes catching an occupant's arm or a child inside the doorway.
  • The sliding door cable has snapped, leaving the door unable to open either manually or with the power button.
  • The hood reportedly stayed bent and would not close properly after being opened in cold weather.
  • The side rail roof rack has detached from the vehicle while driving at highway speed.
  • After a rollover crash, none of the right-side doors or the rear hatch would open despite the engine still running.
