What owners wrote
While stopped at a railroad crossing, I was rear ended by a vehicle traveling 55 MPH which totaled my car but the airbags did not deploy.
For some reason the rubber seals on all the doors seem to fail at different point. I had the dealer replace the driver and passenger door seal 2-3 times (while the car was under the 36,000 mile mark). The back door where only replaced once each. Now that the car is at 62,000 miles, it looks like 2 door seals are falling apart. This creates a massive wind noise in the car. I have never seen this failure on any car I have ever owned.
