My daughter and I took the 2 seats out from the 3rd row seating and I was in my vehicle where the seats had been and my daughter didn't know that I was going to get out of the car and she closed the big rear hatch door and my finger was caught in the door. I started screaming and luckily she was there to open the door back up because from the inside of the vehicle you can not open the window part or the door. That to me seems very dangerous and I do not like that.

My "stability" light comes on and no mechanic knows why. It doesn't throw any codes to say what's wrong or anything... the light just comes on and off through the day... I just want to know if I need to worry bout it or not... I drive with my kids in my truck.. And my truck shakes/vibrates badly when breaking and if going 70mph or faster
