| The ball joints cracked which caused the front left tire to become detached from the vehicle while driving approximately 70 mph on the freeway. the consumer contacted the manufacturer but they have not done anything about the issue. *ak the vehicle's tcm/ecm software failed which caused the transmission to slip/surge while driving. the vehicle would not go into reverse due to an internal failure. the dealer replaced the a/t assembly and flushed the a/t fluid. the left sunvisor was coming apart. the visor clips broke and as a result they could not hold the visor in a stable position. seat belt bolt cover broke. the passenger side door lock was hard for the passenger to unlock from the driver's side. the dealer replaced the door latch and actuator assembly. the vehicle's heater took about an hour to effectively warm the vehicle. the dealer determined that the blend door was loose at the actuator. *nm | |||

| The latch mechanism failed to hold the hood closed after a minor collision. the hood opened up and flipped back unto the windshield, breaking the glass, damaging the hood. the vehicle was being driven at 40 mph at the time. the latch popped out from the hood thus releasing the hood. this latch was revitted on to the hood on thin sheet metal which stretched and release the latch. it should be note that i was blinded when the hod flew opened and was lucky to be unhurt. i looked at other car latch and they are of a superior design. *ak | |||
