Passenger door does not seal due to obstruction of window. Whatever regulates how far the window goes up is missing/broken.
Both doors hold water causing windows to constantly remain wet during typical use. This will be a major hazard in the winter time if there is any moisture in the atmoshere or if the vehicle is washed as normal. Because the water collects every time it rains or the car is washed, the water that collects causes a very strong , terrible smell that only goes away after the windows are not used and the car has been pulled over and allowed to air out by opening all doors, etc. It is to the point now that the smell is even there when the windows are barely used even in dry weather. It is repulsive!!! very disappointing for me to have happen in a new car!.
Doors hold water and mildew and freeze in winter, dealer has been unable to correct the problem, a fix is said to be in development but a timeline is unknown, mildew smell can be quite strong in warm weather. While not directly a saftey concern, in time rust and deterioration could cause problems with doors in accidents I would think.
