What owners wrote
Door springs are too strong they snap back with too much force. My 4 year old child was hit in the head and ear which left a bruise on the ear , I have a picture, and a bump on the head, it has smacked my child on the head on several occasions. Also , it hit someone else's 6 year old child in the ear. My foot and ankle have been crushed on many occasions, today it crushed my big toe.
The plastic housing on interior door latches is faulty. The driver side rear door is completely inoperable. It must be opened from the outside. The front two door latches are cracked and beginning to loosen. The rear door was noted as a safety concern by a coworker during a work-related trip. The employee understandably refuses to drive in the vehicle going forward. The problem is a safety concern and an embarrassment when conducting business junctures.
