The rear view camera setting engages whenever the car is put into reverse. the driver comes to rely on the backup camera. several times the backup camera fails to turn on and can not be manually turned on. i feel that there is a correlation between turning the car on and putting it into reverse quickly however i can not reproduce this at will. this has happened 10+ times. i have also noticed on some but not all occasions that after reversing, when i put the car in drive, suddenly the backup camera does engage although i'm now driving forward. i'm concerned that people who have been accustomed to using the backup camera will get in a crash or run into a person when the backup camera intermittently fails.
Images on the backup camera is intermittently very difficult to see. this is easy to reproduce when backing out of a covered garage into sunlight. while the entire car is in the shade the image is clear, however as soon as the camera on the back of the car hits the sun, the image becomes very difficult to see. it is "blown out" and very white. as soon as the front of the car where the light sensor is hits the sunlight the backup image adjusts and is clear and effective. the system needs a light sensor where the camera is located in order to adjust the light settings to match the camera's environment. this is dangerous in that the camera is initially working and then suddenly becomes unusable while the driver may be relying on it. this could result in a crash or injury as the driver backs up while relying on the backup camera system. this is fairly easy to reproduce consistently.
Sliding doors have been malfunctioning and opening while the car is in drive and moving the driver side back door does not stop if there is something there. sliding doors failed to close.
The driver side back door does not stop if there is something there. it almost closed on my son who had to get out of the way fast because it closed and didn't sense he was there.
When i bought this car i was not given any warnings/information about the edible wiring in the auto even though there are numerous complaints and lawsuits about this problem. i could find nothing in the provided literature. i am a 73 year old widow and i had researched this car. it rated high for safety. i had to have a safe car. in february,2018 while i was on the road warning lights about abs appeared and the rear washer did not work. diagnosed as chewed wiring. the dealership said not their problem! a few weeks later the car stalled on a highway and warning lights said abs and the cruise control did not work. a few minutes later the check engine light came on. the car fell to pieces as i was driving. again diagnosed as chewed wiring. again had it repaired at my expense. i researched and spent several hundred on repellants, etc. i had inside the car and all around the car surrounded with everything i could find. i called an exterminator but he saw no evidence of rats. possible squirrels. game cam took pictures of raccoons. thought maybe i was safe. two weeks later no water to front or rear windows. dealer said about 8 inches of the water hose had been eaten. my previous car (chevy uplander 2008) sat in the same place for over 3 years and no wiring problems. research showed most cars today made with soy-based wiring that attracted rodents. i am not safe driving this car. there were no warnings about a know problem. the dealer denies all responsibility and the manufacturer customer complain department will not return my calls. when i call them they say "not their problem". i say it is their problem!! i want a buyback or at least wrapping all the wiring with repellant tape, refund of all money spent in repairs and preventatives, a promise to fix any future damage and a monetary award for all my stress and inconvenience.
