Structure · at 30,000 miles · reported Jan 25, 2019

Intermittent the doors will not unlock using the usual method of pulling on the door handle. They only way to open the door when locked inside is from the center console unlock button. If the battery were to be low, I would be trapped in the car. I've had passengers who felt trapped because they could not open the doors.

Structure · at 15 miles · reported Nov 30, 2018

The driver door cannot be unlocked from the inside of the vehicle. Pulling the door handle does not unlock/open the door. The proposed solution by the dealership to lower the window and use the mechanical key to open the door, is not acceptable in the case that one has to exit the car in an emergency (E.g. Flooding, or fire). This problem started to happen once every month, then once a week, then eventually almost daily. The car was fixed by the dealership with the cost been paid by the owner (A cable had to be replaced)

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · reported Jun 23, 2018

A few weeks before my accident I started having issues with the cruise control because it was not able to read the sensors I would have to go to the front bumper and wipe it off with water for it to work. Two weeks after I was driving in the interstate not using the cruise control when all the sudden for no reason the emergency collision went off which cost me to go off the road and rolled her vehicle service times.

Electrical System · at 28,000 miles · reported Jun 29, 2017

Car was involved in a 20mph accident when another driver entered my lane and stopped in front of my car. My car then burst into flames and was consumed by the fire in a matter of minutes.

Exterior Lighting · at 100 miles · reported Dec 18, 2014
