The paint on this car is defective. It peels off of the car without any action or agitation by the owner or outside forces. This causes multiple parts of the car rust to under the painted areas, including the roof and hood. This is a common problem with this model and color as several owners have posted about the problem online.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. PRESSED BUTTON TO HAVE REAR POWER LIFT GATE OPEN. AS IT WAS FULLY OPENING, I PUT ONE OF MY GROCERY BAGS IN THE REAR HATCH THE LIFT GATE POWERED DOWN ONTO MY HEAD WITHOUT WARNING. IT KNOCKED ME TO THE PARKING LOT. WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION FROM ME IT WENT PARTIALLY UP AND DOWN AGAIN AND THEN CLOSED FULLY. I GOT UP AND TRIED THE BUTTON AGAIN TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE. IT OPENED AND THEN JERKED DOWN AND THEN UP AND THEN CLOSED. IT STILL MALFUNCTIONS THIS WAY AND WON'T OPEN AND STAY OPENED.

WHEN IT RAINS THE CLOSED SUNROOF DRAINS INTO BOTH FLOOR BOARDS OF THE CAR, AND INTO THE BACK HATCH FLOORBOARD WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. SOAKING MY FEET WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE LIFTGATE TO GO OUT AND IT WILL NOT OPEN EVEN MANUALLY. IT SATURATES THE FLOOR AND IS CAUSING MOLD TO GROW UNDERNEATH THE CARPET WHICH I WOULD THINK IS A HEALTH RISK ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE A CHILD WITH ASTHMA. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR I WASH MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL MALL. AS I TURNED MY WHEEL MY VEHICLE TOOK OFF AND I LOST ALL CONTROL. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS MY VEHICLE HIT 3 OTHER PARKED VEHICLES PUSHING ONE IN TO ANOTHER. I BELIEVE I HAD THEN EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THREE VEHICLES WERE TOWED AWAY INCLUDING MINE. NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED. *TR

I OPENED THE REAR LIFT GATE FROM INSIDE THE CAR . I HAD JUST PARKED CURBSIDE AT MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL , AS I DO EACH SCHOOL DAY MORNING TO DROP HER OFF . AS SHE LEANED IN THE BACK CARGO SPACE TO PULL OUT HER BACK PACK AND LUNCH BOX THE CARGODOOR STARTED TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN ON MY DAUGHTER . NEITHER OF US HAD PRESSED THE BUTTON . I WAS UNAWARE AT FIRST AS I WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT FACING FORWARD , I HEARD HER SCREAM AND WAS WATCHING IN HORROR AS SHE WAS BEING CRUSHED BY THE DOOR BETWEEN THE DOOR AND HER BAG AND THE CARGO COMPARTMENT . I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DOOR DID NOT TREVERSEAND WAS UNSURE IN THAT SPLIT SECOND IF I PRESSED THE BUTTON WOULD IT REVERSE THE DOOR OR CRUSH HER FURTHER . I ALSO WAS UNAWARE IF I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR, RUN TO THE BACK . TO TRY TO PULL THE DOOR UP . THIS CAME CLOSE TO BEING A CATASTROPHE. IF MY DAUGHTER WAS SMALLER OR YOUNGER OR IN A DIFFERENT POSITION . SHE IS BRUISED AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED A CAR IS ON THEMARKET LIKE THIS . I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE ON LINE TODAY AFTER THIS HAPPENED . THE DEALERSHIP IS BEING LESS THAN HELPFUL NOT TO MENTION .MY CAR HAS LOCKED ME OUT TWICE WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY AFTER THE CAR WAS UNLOCKED . IT RELOCKED . THE NAVIGATION AND BLUETOOTH TOSS ME REGULARLY . I THINK THIS CAR HAS A WIRING ISSUE ON TOP OF THE LACE OF SAFETY WITH THE BACK GATE. *TR
