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.
I was involved in a front-end collision a ~7 ton commercial vehicle, their fault due to distracted driving while using a cell phone, in which the forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and air bags failed. My Corsair had to be towed since it did not run after the accident, the drivers door could not open, so had to crawl out the passenger side.
While driving a random pop noise is heard and felt under the driver side floor board. When parking and putting car in reverse or in drive can replicate the same popping noise as well as and feel the pop under the foot on drivers side.
