Headlights will shut off while driving. This sometimes will occur on its own, other times, it appears to be caused when using the turn signal lever. The lights will come back on by touching/moving the lever. This is dangerous and could lead to an accident.

There are two issues I believe both are connected. Number 1. Sometimes when I put on the left blinker either nothing happens at all or the wrong blinker (right side) will go on instead of the left. Number 2. Sometimes when I put on my left blinker the headlights will turn off. It can be really scary when this happens on a dark highway at night.

The problem is the multi function switch. In the AUTO mode, the head lights go off randomly. This is a super dangerous at night. Also, when the left turn signal is activated, sometimes the flasher doesn't work and you have to jiggle it or turn it off and on again and sometimes the right flasher goes on. The dealer service could not confirm the problem and did nothing. These problems happen at random times and have been ongoing for about 18 months.

At times when driving with headlights on the driverside taillight will go out and will cause the middle and passenger brake light to stay on. If I turn the headlights off the middle and passenger taillights work only when pressing the brake peddle.I have removed the tail light and checked it for being burned out, corrosion or being loose and it is fine. I put the bulb back in and the drivers side taillight works fine and the brake lights work as normal. This happened a second time and I checked the bulb. Again nothing was wrong with it. I changed the bulb with a new one. This is actually the second new bulb in that socket. This happens while driving or standing still while headlights and tail lights are on. This started happening in december 2020. It is worrisome as you are driving with no brake lights working if you have your headlights on when it rains during the day or while driving at night and the only way you will know it's happening is if you happen to get out of your car while the headlights are turned on.

While driving when I use my turn signals the headlights will either flash high beams or completely go out then back on. Also my driver's side sliding door doesn't shut completely with the power door option this just started around the 100k mile mark.

The daytime and headlights lights will turn off randomly. (started around the 100k mileage). When stationary, the sliding doors do not shut correctly. 1st the driver's side door begins rattling like change is inside the door. 2nd then the door begins taking 2 turns to close, and then it is hit or miss when closing. The door closure button will occasionally not work, regardless of whether the car is off and parked. (started around the 45000 mileage). The driver's side seat belt connector occasionally indicates a fault error. Also the passenger side seat belt indicator will turn on when 5 pounds or less is in the passenger seat. (started around the 100k mileage). My biggest concern: since I believe the side doors are fatal accidents waiting to happen, I have my kids sit in the 3rd row. Only adults are allowed to sit in my passenger captain chairs. The blind spot warning does not work consistently.
