What owners wrote
I opened the rear lift gate from inside the car . I had just parked curbside at my 13 year old daughter's school , as I do each school day morning to drop her off . As she leaned in the back cargo space to pull out her back pack and lunch box the cargodoor started to close on its own on my daughter . Neither of us had pressed the button .
After a heavy storm, I attempted to start my car that was parked in the driveway, but nothing in the car would respond to the key fob or push to start. After jumping the battery, we were able to start the vehicle, however, the electrical systems were erratically shutting off and restarting. The gauges and system lights kept blinking and turning off. The engine began to smoke, so I turned the vehicle off. There was a musty smell which provoked me to search for water intrusion.
