DEAD BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE 1 1/2 YEARS OWNED, THE FIRST AFTER 3 DAYS AND DEALER PICKED UP, SAID OKAY---HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE. ON MAY 20, 2020, RETURNING FROM A TRIP, DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER HOOD. SUV IS AT DEALER NOW, SO DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WILL SAY. IN MOTION ON A RURAL ROAD 2 MILES FROM HOME. *TR
The car trunk will not latch right and also has problems with latch closing and won't stop even if something is under it. I've had the trunk hit me in the head twice and continued to close and also broke items in the car.
The rear hatch, yes it's available for inspection. It closed on me while trying to get items out of the back of the SUV. I opened the hatch from the drivers control panel leaving the car running in park, then tried to get items out of the back. While I was under the hatch it closed on me. I was unable to stop it from coming down on my back/shoulder despite pushing back against it with my arms against the floor. I ultimately had to jump into the back of the vehicle where the hatch closed on my foot and locked. I tried to open it again using the push button on the outside of the hatch, it closed again, I was unable to stop it from closing and locking again while trying to lift it from the outside. It did this four times in a row. The only "unusual" thing was that this was during an ice storm. I have tried to reproduce it several times since with no luck, also there are no freezing temperatures now. No, I have not taken it to a dealership yet but will this week. I do not know if there were warning lights since I was in the back of the vehicle, but it did sound the tone that you hear when the lid is closing by its own power luckily which alerted me that it was closing. This has never happened, it closed with force four times, and I was unable to stop it
