Rear view camera does not work permanently sometimes image is upside down or no image. A lot of times this happens while backing up creating a safety hazard as we can hit other cars or people.
In may 2019 a side vent window om the passenger side shattered while the car was in the garage. On 2/14/2020, the rear cargo area window on the passenger side also shattered spontaneously while sitting in the driveway. The window that shattered on 2/14/2020 was bowed out after it shattered so the breakage could not have come from outside the car.
Speakers let out extremely loud crackle noise, ear piercing static noise and all of a sudden the radio no longer works. The radio does turn on but you can not change the channel nor any sound. Absolutely no sound no matter what the volume is at. If my phone is paired to the radio it's complete silence and both parties hear nothing but silence. This happens not matter if you are driving or parked. You get the same results in all positions of the vehicle.
