The sub frame that's holding the engine is rusting apart almost missing a huge part of it which is a cause for concern for the safety of me and my children. Especially being that i was never informed of this issue upon purchasing this as a "certified vehicle". Only had it for one year.

Door locks do not work properly. Sometimes lock, sometimes do not. Mostly they unlock but do not lock properly. The key fob also does not always work. Have had the battery and system checks and there were no issues. Dangerous to have doors not lock properly for a single woman in parking lots or even with the car parked outside at night.

The nut that holds one of the rear lift gate struts to the body of the car came loose and we believe dropped down behind the body liner and possibly one of the rear air bags.
