1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2024

Drivers side headrest deployed while I was driving.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2023

The passenger headrest ahr has deployed a couple years ago while parked. I tried working with the dealer for the past year to get it fixed under a recall. The dealer said it was covered for a limited time but no longer is covered. I do not understand why that is. It seems this should be covered under a recall and is a safety issue.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2017

Water leaks from the light above the dash. It is very dangerously distracting while driving, but also has fried my stereo/computer once already. It has now soaked all of the front interior and has started to affect my electrical system. Have taken it into the dealership three times in the last two years and they cannot find or fix the problem. It happens when it rains, but not always, it builds up and collects somewhere and comes out at various times. . While stationary or driving. . . The worst is while driving and turning corners, it wil pour out water onto the driver or the passenger side depending on the turn.
