Start my diagnosis →Water streams onto the driver's lap, steering wheel, and floorboard
Check engine light: Off
Original-equipment windshields develop seal failures that let water stream directly onto the driver's lap, steering wheel, and floorboard during rain or car washes. The windshield is also a structural component that aids airbag deployment, meaning a seal/adhesion defect here could have crash-safety implications beyond the visible water leak.
Latches fail to engage properly, or release without warning
Check engine light: Off
Seat belt buckles stick and won't release without difficulty, latches fail to properly engage, and — most concerning — belts have randomly unlatched while driving. One parent reported their child experienced anxiety from feeling "trapped" by a belt that wouldn't release.
One vehicle required 4 replacement batteries
Check engine light: Off
Repeated battery drain severe enough that one vehicle required 4 battery replacements, attributed to software glitches that keep control modules powered even when the car is off.
Occurred while in active traffic
Check engine light: On
Among the brake/stability control complaints, one describes the vehicle suddenly shutting down and the steering wheel locking while in traffic — a severe compound safety failure occurring in an active-traffic context.
Piston and ring failures reported despite regular servicing
Check engine light: On
Oil leaks serious enough to require turbo replacement, piston and ring failures, and complete engine replacement in some cases — with owners noting low oil warnings appeared despite regular dealer servicing.
The power lift gate loses its power operation
Check engine light: Off
The power lift gate loses its power operation. This is among the more frequently reported issues on this generation, with 10 owner reports on file.

The single largest complaint category (10 complaints, tied) for this generation is original-equipment windshield seal failures that let water stream directly onto the driver's lap, steering wheel, and floorboard — beyond the immediate safety hazard, the windshield is a structural component that aids airbag deployment, meaning a seal defect here could have crash-safety implications beyond the visible leak. Equally prevalent: seat belt buckles that stick, fail to latch, or randomly unlatch while driving, with replacement costs of $800+. Separately, one brake and stability control complaint describes the vehicle suddenly shutting down and the steering wheel locking while in active traffic — a severe compound safety failure.
