Today I had a crash and luckily walked away. I went down an embankment at speed into trees where the vehicle rolled and struck trees head on. All the vehicle airbags deployed and vehicle came to rest on the drivers side. Although there was electrical power and the engine still running none of the right side doors would open and neither would the rear hatch which was clear of obstruction! Had there been a fire I wouldn't be making this report! Doors need to be operable regardless of situation when none of them are jammed from an accident!

The hood crumples like aluminum foil. The hood rod was holding the hood up and the slightest pressure on the hood made it bend. The hood should NOT bend as easily as it did. The fragility of the hood could cause a serious issue in the event of a crash.

I was driving on the interstate at approximately 65 miles per hour. My 'check all wheel drive system' warning alarm came on shortly followed by the: Check engine, battery alarm, collision breaking system, etc. I'm certain there were more alerts going off; however I was trying to steer a car, that had lost power off the roadway. I was able to get the car safely onto the shoulder where I attempted to turn off the vehicle. I couldn't turn the car off until I realized I needed the car to be in park. After I turned the car off I noticed black smoke coming from the engine and could smell something burning. I opened the door & got my three year old son out of the car & noticed more black smoke. I quickly distanced myself from the vehicle & noticed fire coming from the engine. I called 911 but the car was engulfed in flames within minutes. The fire department responded within 5 minutes & were able to extinguish the fire.
