What owners wrote
As I was driving I was stopped & told my car was on fire. I immediately stopped & hopped out & less than 30 seconds later half of the hood caught heat/fire & flew into the windshield breaking it. At least half The car is burnt to ashes
About a week ago the rear passenger door occasionally began to remain locked once the vehicle was parked and shut off, instead of unlocking automatically. Now, this happens multiple times a day and the rear driver side door has started to do the same. I have 2 small children that are both in car seats and I am concerned that I will not be able to get them out of the car. Especially with the weather getting warmer.
