After the third row has been folded flat and you are bringing it back out to make it a seat again, it often will not latch without the assistance of a second person to help guide the seat into the proper place. This generally happens with the 2 seat section and not the single seat section (since they fold 60/40). If you don't realize the seat did not latch, then it can easily roll back and try to fold flat while the car is in motion or should someone try to climb over it. This has been happening for quite a while, but when I saw that a child died because of it, I wanted to report it.
The 3rd row seat latch became "loose" over time so that the seat would not latch into the floor at all.
When vehicle shifts from 2nd to 3rd, there is a delay(grind). A and b pillars are week and produce a whistling noise starting at 35 mph. The rear bench (the bigger part of the split bench) will not latch down to the floor. Pax run flat tires are deflating with no age or puncture related problems. All of these are safety hazards. Rear lift gate struts failed and will not lift up rear door and can cause the door to crash down.
Driver seat is crooked right side lower then left side when drive over 15 minutes geting pain on right hip and leg.
