After sitting overnight, I drove my car approximately three miles parked and attempted to use the key fob to secure the vehicle, it failed. I had no problem or indication at the start of my t
I am very concerned about potential accidents for my self and others driving this vehicle. I have multiple close call accidents because the left view mirror does't have proper view to see cars on left side especially if they are close. The way seat and the side of the vehicle is shaped its very hard to still see manually with head turned to the left rear side. The mirror or the shape or position needs to be changed for safety to prevent accidents.

On [XXX], while driving through a common roadway puddle at a safe speed, the front bumper on my BZ4X detached from the undercarriage shield and tore away from the clips.
