What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Rear door latch will not close properly. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for analysis. Mechanic recommended that the latch be replaced due to a worn part.
Another car turned left in front of me, with no signal or no notice. I hit her and my air bags deployed and my seat belt held me fine. My kids were in the second row seat with seat belts on. They both hit the seat in front of them. I think the handles that are on the seats (bad design). My son lost 4 permanent teeth and had lacerations to his face. My daughter had a concussion and now has a huge scar on her lip and chin. I guess the shoulder straps failed to lock?
Driver was stopped at a crosswalk and was struck from the rear at a speed of 25-35 MPH. Driver was wearing a seat belt and thrown forward and back when hit . As driver came back the seat bent back/broke and bent to the right at a 15-25% angle causing injuries.
1)power sliding doors do not operate properly. Intermittently, doors won't open, doors open partially and stop, and doors close partially and stop. More importantly, power doors do not stop and retract when pressure is applied in accordance with manual. Today was the fourth time that one of my children hesitated when exiting the van and was stuck within the doorway when the door was automatically closing.
Transmission defect/extended warranty problem/pulsation of brakes when braking, slider doors sticking/loud buzzing sound (intermittent)
