Rear door trim has peeled back and snapped off. Dealer replaced it under warranty, three months later it is snapped off again. Both sides have been replaced and both sides have broken again. Dealer is slow in ordering and receiving replacement parts, even slower scheduling a time to repair. Dealer felt that "taping it down with black tape was sufficient until the parts come in. " it has been over six months since the passenger rear trim has been ordered. Meanwhile, I am driving around in a brand new vehicle with black electrical tape holding down the trim.
While driving, the driver was able to air coming inside of the vehicle when the all windows were closed. Also, the headlights will came on and went off by themselves. This is a hazard to the driver's visibility at night. This was a continuous problem.
Gas door hinges rust and break causing the door to fall off.
