What owners wrote
With the vehicle is stationary, I opened the power lift gate, it opened completely, and suddenly fee fell about 1 to 2 feet, stiking me and my 6 month old son in the head. I have repeated this operation multiple times standing clear of the lift gate and it continues to do the same thing everytime. It is not safe to access the cargo area of my vehicle until this is repaired.
My windows will roll down on their own while going down the road. I can only roll the windows up and down intermittently while parked and in motion. While driving stability control will turn itself off and blow some sort of gas through the air conditioning vents in the car, then it will start shuddering and slowing down the car to the point I have to pull over. After that issue started, my A/C will only work intermittently as well.
