Vehicle has a moon roof design that utilizes drain tubes to direct water away from the roof area. The drain system failed allowing rain water to enter the passenger compartment. Water soaked the floor area where wiring was routed to the rear of the vehicle. This caused the wiring harness to fail due to water contamination at the connection points. Rear hatch began to open uncontrollably on multiple occasions. Rear hatch finally failed and would not open under any circumstances. After researching this I found that this is happening to other owners of this type of vehicle.

I opened the rear lift gate from inside the car . I had just parked curbside at my 13 year old daughter's school , as I do each school day morning to drop her off . As she leaned in the back cargo space to pull out her back pack and lunch box the cargodoor started to close on its own on my daughter . Neither of us had pressed the button . I was unaware at first as I was in the front seat facing forward , I heard her scream and was watching in horror as she was being crushed by the door between the door and her bag and the cargo compartment . I did not understand why the door did not treverseand was unsure in that split second if I pressed the button would it reverse the door or crush her further . I also was unaware if I had enough time to jump out of the car, run to the back . To try to pull the door up . This came close to being a catastrophe. If my daughter was smaller or younger or in a different position . She is bruised and I am really concerned a car is on themarket like this . I saw other complaints like mine on line today after this happened . The dealership is being less than helpful not to mention . My car has locked me out twice with the keyless entry after the car was unlocked . It relocked . The navigation and bluetooth toss me reguarly . I think this car has a wiring issue on top of the lace of safty with the back gate,.
