What owners report

Airbags fail to deploy or deploy unevenly in low- and moderate-speed crashes, sometimes injuring the driver's shoulder or twisting the seat.
Some owners tied non-deployment to the Takata airbag recall after being rear-ended or hit while stopped in traffic.
The engine reportedly surges or decelerates on its own without pedal input, occurring unpredictably while driving, slowing, or stopped.
Air conditioning condensation leaks into the cabin, causing mold and mildew on the carpet even after repeated dealership repairs.
A front lower control arm bolt corroded and broke, producing a clunking noise over bumps and during braking.
A front cradle bolt broke after hitting a pothole, raising structural concerns about the subframe mounting.

38 complaints filed with NHTSA from Jan 2010 to Jun 2019; peak Aug 2017 (3).
