I took my car to the dealership twice due to the carplay not working, screens going black, rattling noises, and the transmission shuddering, jerking, and jumping. The mechanic that test drove it stated it was a rough ride and the car did not return to first gear. The transmission fluid was black with metal debris. They rebuilt that same transmission and since then my car has been way worse. I reached out the dealership had a mechanic drive it, but every time he’d say OH that was my big foot. I asked why the 1 on the rpms and the p on the gear shift flash while in park then my car shakes loudly. He laughed and said it was normal. We returned to the dealership the manager came out with my keys and said I am glad we found it safe and sent me on my way.

I was in a car accident where all of my airbags deployed. The seat airbag deployed, and the deflation vents were facing me. It melted my polyester shirt into me and burned my the skin across my ribs on my left side (nearest to the door). I was not aware of the location of the vents in the airbag until during the accident. This could be an issue for shorter people, who might have the airbags deploy closer to their face. I went to the hospital for the pain I was feeling in my ribs and difficulty breathing (some of which came from this airbag).
