What owners wrote
When travelling above 55 MPH there is a wind noise at driver door that is quite annoying. Dealers answer is that they test drove other years of the same vehicle and heard the same noise. Unsure if something will start leaking in the near future but for now, the noise is annoying and shouldn't be heard.
Car was parked outside on a very cold day. Came outside to find that the rear window had shattered for no apparent reason. This car was taken to a window service earlier in the fall for a minor maintenance issue as was told by the technician that this was a replacement window. I am only reporting this in that this vehicle is only a 2016, yet the rear window has broken out 2x since its time on the road.
