What owners wrote

When using the headliner-mounted DVD system screen, visibility through the rearview mirror is very limited (pretty much, the rear-view mirror can't be used at all).

February 2004

After driving to the store with my kids I opened the driverside sliding door to get my kids out. The rear quarter window exploded. I could not find anywhere where that it made contact. Now their is glass embedded in carseats and child safety seats.
