Sun visors are too short / small and don't help on a sunny day. May as well not have them at all especially if you don't have an auto-tinted windshield. We find this to be a seriously dangerous situation. Also, car hesitates when accelerating at times and engine also sounds rough after driving a few minutes.

Tailgate locking system has electronic kick. There is no electronic chirp to alert closing. I was struck in the head. The top latch is was reversed to 'male' equivalent to a hammer. The bottom latch was reversed as connector. If anyone over 5' 10" walks under the open hatch they can be struck.
