What owners wrote
The rear break lights malfunctioned and will quite working periodically there has been no inspection from a dealership at this moment and driving at night time puts me and my family at risk due to the fact that I could be rear ended and cause a major accident and my vehicle has no warning light or service light for this problem.
While standing behind the vehicle with the lift gate open, and attempting to remove items from the rear area the lift gate randomly slams shut without notice or warning. On several occasions my children were in the way of the lift gate closing as well, however, since I am taller I was hit first saving my children. On several occasions I was hit in the head and it the back by the slamming rear lift gate.
