Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) Malfunction

A recall addresses potential stress or wear on the front passenger seat's body-sensing mat, which can lead to a malfunction in the PODS. This impacts airbag deployment logic, posing a safety risk. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $1,000.

Over time, seals and hoses in the complex cooling system can degrade, leading to coolant leaks. This can cause engine overheating if not addressed promptly. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $900.
