Latest reports

“The steering would randomly lock (or at least become very stiff). This occurred when the vehicle was warm and seemed to be mostly low speed sharper turns. Turning the wheel in the opposite direction freed it up.”
- Structure
“Front Passenger side door is opening while driving. Has happened numerous times in the last couple weeks”
- Visibility/wiper
“The windshield seal has failed causing rain water and melting snow and ice to come in the car and flow down the windshield and impair vision through the windshield.”
