What owners wrote

While driving power steering failed and can't steer to hard also air conditioner blower stopped working at the same time

Reported at 80,000 miles, November 2018 Injury

Driver door sensor detects door as open when it is clearly closed. No matter how much you slam door the sensor doesn't acknowledge the door as closed. This keeps the inside lights on and car doors will not lock even when in motion. This happens when you enter car. Warning stays on while you are driving. You have to slam door several times really hard and hope it acknowledge door as closed so you can lick car and turn on alarm.
