I bought the vehicle in march of 2012. The passenger seat belt will not work and I use them for car seats now which places my lil ones at risk since they may not be properly fastened in because this seat belt should function. Also my back hatchback door doesn't latch properly unless I slam it down hard. If I don't gate ajar light comes on and I hear it loose. The latch system has fallen apart due to the slamming. Window part also does this so I don't use it. I can't believe there are no recalls to fix these safety hazards.
