What owners wrote
While driving below 25 MPH, the consumer heard a loud knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection twice. The mechanic was not able to duplicate the problem. A week later while driving approximately 25-30 MPH, the consumer heard the same loud knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Suddenly the right front wheel came off causing the consumer to have difficulty maintaining control of the vehicle. The consumer managed to pull over.
Rear passenger door is permanently stuck shut. Cannot open the door from the inside or outside, or override the malfunction. Power door locks and manual pressure will not open the door. The rear passenger seating is now very unsafe and I will not take and passengers in the back.
