While the key is still in the ignition (first time, vehicle was running; second time, vehicle was off), the car doors locked without any one pushing the button to lock the doors.
The latch for the rear hatch/door does not release every time. There have been instances when itmes have been in the cargo area and when the button is pressed, it will not release the latch. This causes someone to have to crawl over the back seat to retrieve the items from the cargo area. This also is causing my son to have to store items, that would normally be in the crgo area, on his back seat. I owned a 2015 Terrain and had this same issue. The latch was replaced but still did not operate correctly.
On5/3/2022 we were driving on i65 around shepherdsville ky. It was pouring down rain and our windshield wipers stopped working and stuck in the up position. We had a semi on each side of us. This made it even more difficult to see due to the rain coming off of their tires and spraying onto our window. We had to slow down to a dangerous low speed on the interstate due to the difficulty seeing. We made it to the shoulder after almost being hit by a semi we had to sit there until the rain stopped. This was extremely dangerous in itself being that it was on an interstate with high speed limits. We had no choice but to stop in the town of shephardsville and get a hotel room. We are still trying to make our way back home at this time to in. This has not been expected by anyone at this time. There were no warnings of any kind.
Roughly every 8 months sirius xm "radio" runs an automatically triggered free subscription period that includes "weather alerts". These alerts block part of the car's normal navigational (map) system, requiring unnecessary movements to dismiss the prompts so one can see map details. These movements risk driving mistakes. The weather alerts are unhelpful and unwanted: trivial events that don't affect me. And they keep repeating the same alert multiple times per day. I once called sirius tech support to have them shut that feature off, but they claimed they couldn't, and to just wait out the promotion period. Sirius xm comes with the car and I can't remove it. I suspect the prompts are a marketing gimmick to trick people into sampling their music channels when they fiddle in the sirius menus trying to turn off the alerts. Others on social media have reported similar problems in different car models. (I bought the car used in 2019. ).
