What owners wrote

While driving vehicle, the engine caught on fire and the engine compartment burned up. The fire department had to put out the fire...on a city street.

Reported at 65,000 miles, April 2017 Fire

Door lock actuators have stopped locking and unlocking the doors on three of the fours doors of the car. I have to manually lock and unlock the drivers door with the key in order to lock it. The two rear passenger doors do not unlock via the interior unlock button on the driver side and must be manually unlocked and locked by flipping the door lock itself on each door. This is ridiculous for a car that is only 7 years old .. To have all three door affected is faulty equipment and not incorrect use.
