| 19000 mi | Recall re: airbag sensor. Didn't always detect a passenger in the front seat. Needed reprogramming. |
| 29500 mi | Rear hatch automatic sensor faulty - started to close as soon as liftgate was fully open. Airbag sensor still not working properly. Doesn't always detect passenger. |
| 32700 mi | Airbag sensor does not always recognize a passenger in the front seat. This has been an on and off problem since car was purchased. When dealer looked at it the problem didn't show up so no repair was made. |
| 2000 mi | Odometer,trip odometer, and shift lever position intermittently fail to display Dealer planned to replace instrument cluster, but apparently only re-programmed odometer. It now remains illuminated when car is running, but is the first thing to light up when door is opened and the last to go off(?). |
| 6000 mi | After shutting off engine warning chime sounds randomly for no reason when door is opened. Next time car is to be used remote start will not work and dome lights normally activated on approach do not go on. If chime doesn't sound both work. After transmission was replaced shift linkage is apparently loose even after a return for adjustment. To prevent the above chiming and subsequent failure of remote start etc. the lever has to be very carefully moved into park position. |
| 3000 mi | Problem was passenger airbag sensor sometimes disabled even when an adult was sitting there. The dealer checked the airbag sensor and was unable to reproduce problem. Told me airbag sensors are temperamental and it's normal. |
| 23000 mi | The climate control drops out of Auto mode sometimes. |
| 26200 mi | OCS seat belt recall repair |
