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.

REAR HATCH DOES NOT STOP AFTER OPENING. IT GOES UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES THEN SHUTS. SLAMMED DOWN AND HIT MY WIFE ON HER SHOULDER. WE CANNOT USE THE REAR HATCH DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OTHER THAN A SMALL SCRAPE ON THE SIDE DOOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SAFETY ISSUE

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

THE HATCHBACK BEGAN CLOSING ON MY HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS LOADING THE TRUNK. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I PUSHED THE BUTTON. HE COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED IF I WASN'T THERE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF A CHILD WAS THERE. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR
