    While driving at highway speed, the rear of the car started swaying slightly. Several passing motorists motioned me to pull over. Upon inspection, we noticed the rear chassis on both sides had pulled away from the body of the vehicle, causing the rear wheels to tilt in from the top and out from the bottom.

    Rear driver side window dropped. It should not fail in this way the vehicle was stationary but it could easily have been in motion. I believe this is a defective design or part. I had the dealer replace and install part at my cost. Quick web search showed this happening to multiple people.

    This occurred three times. We have found the hood to be in open position (ajar). Its like someone pulled the level and the hood opens, but the secondarily latch keeps it from flying open while underway. I will just reach in and pull the secondary latch to open the hood and close it. I am just afraid that the hood will fly open one day while we are driving, but the secondary latch is doing it's job. *tr
