The tail light assembly keeps going out.
While driving there is a large pop sound and then extreme static / "white noise" that comes through the speaker system even if the audio is turned off. It will periodically do this off and on and is extremely loud and distracting while driving. Also because it is so sporadic and the pop and static noise is never known when it is going to happen it has nearly caused accidents from being scared when it comes on suddenly. It does this while city driving or highway driving. I can not take a picture of a sound but I do have video and you can also youtube other peoples complaints about this issue. It began for me on July 24, 2018 and has continued to happen on a daily basis since then.
Driver's door does not open from the inside. It appears that a wire has snapped causing this issue. I have to roll the window down to open the door from the outside.
I am currently in a rental and have been for months. California code requires that, if a manufacturer or its representative is unable to repair the motor vehicle to conform to the vehicles applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts. Its been two years, maybe longer. The vehicle is now in nonconformity for over 60 days.
Attempted to get out of the car and the drivers side door would not open. Shut the car off, turned it back on. Hit the lock and unlock button several times and still could not get out of the vehicle. Eventually had to open it from the outside.
