The headliner AC vent cover fell out while driving striking my minor daughter.

After a moment you will hear a relay click, the error message goes away, and after a while the error message shows up again this repeats in cycles. Attempts to disable the sliding door system for safety removing...

The vehicle was sold with a “minor accident” reported, but the condition suggests the damage may have been more significant.
