Airbag System Malfunctions

Complaints indicate potential failures in the airbag system, including non-deployment in critical situations. This suggests possible issues with sensors, control modules, or wiring. Estimated repair cost: $1,500 - $5,000+.

Reports include engine-related problems, such as unintended gear slippage into neutral and auto start issues. The W12 engine's complexity can lead to significant repair costs. Estimated repair cost: $2,000 - $10,000+.

A critical recall addresses overheating and melting of the fuel supply module wiring, leading to potential fuel leaks and fire risk. This requires immediate inspection and repair. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $2,500.

Steering System Issues

Complaints mention steering problems, potentially related to electronic power steering components or hydraulic systems. Cyber vulnerabilities are also cited as a potential cause. Estimated repair cost: $1,000 - $3,000+.

Service Brakes Problems

Issues with the service brakes have been reported, potentially involving brake pad wear, rotor issues, or hydraulic system faults. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) related braking can also be complex. Estimated repair cost: $800 - $2,500.
