bought new 2022 Outlander for daughter because of Safety features. She wasn't paying attention and got into a very standard rear end collision with air bags going off. The Frontal collision system did not give a warning signal and did not do any emergency braking. The system was not turned off by us.

December 2023 CrashInjury

When driving 65mph on highway hood flutters. This is causing anxiety thinking hood will become loose. I’ve spoken to the dealership and they did assure me that it will not However it’s impossible to say that it would never happen. This is a huge safety issue and something that needs to be rectified
