| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Latches/locks/linkage problems | |
| Hatchback/liftgate Lock problems |
Drivers side door lock mechanism failure, multiple times had fixed keeps failing it is a safety hazard, door will not close.
The rear lift gate hydraulic lift support gave out (passenger side) instead of a steady failure, it just gave, and when I opened the door, it slammed back shut from the full open position, almost landing on top of my 4 year old daughter.
