While driving down the highway my check airbag system indicator light came on. I reached my destination and turned off my vehicle, I then restarted my vehicle and the light was still on. I took a picture of the light for proof. Still on for 3 weeks now. I checked and my VIN is not on the recall list for the airbag.

Power door locks were all defective, became non-responsive to transmitter and driver master switch in year 4. Locks also began cycling open and closed at highway speeds. [major safety hazard!] all 4 actuators had to be replaced over the course of three trips to dealer. I am reporting only the most recent occurrence date as this happened throughout the course of 2017

When driving using acc, the vehicle brakes (not consistently) when approaching a large truck in the lane next to lane I am driving in. This has happened since new and has been reported at least 10 times to dealer and they say they can't reproduce the issue. Gas mileage is 12mpg in town and 19mpg on freeway, sticker was 16/23. I have complained about this since new and they drive the car and say they are getting correct mileage, then they told me the brakes needed to be replaced and the rotors needed grinding. I was assured by the service writer that my mileage would be much better, with a wink of an eye. I left the next day for 600 mile drive and my mileage was 20mgp in town and 27mpg on freeway, this lasted for about two months. Temperature guage for outside temp has never worked. On hot days it will read 64 when it is 105 outside. I am told I have to drive at least 20mph for thirty seconds for the temp to increase each degree. Absurd, however, even this tactic does not work.

My wife, who had been driving, exited the SUV to go shopping, leaving me on the passenger side. Unaware, she presssed the "lock" button on the key remote as she walked away.. After a moment, I attempted to open my car door, which triggered the panic alarm. The issue was that it was impossible to exit the vehicle which couyld have resulted in a dangerous event had the car been on fire. It was later shown to me a manual lock/unlock swiitch that I could have operated. Buildings have exits that require no experience to use in case of emergency. Why cannot a vehicle be exitedhurriedly, even though the panic alarm will be activated in that type of an emergency?
