Exterior Lighting Failure (Rear Tail Light)

Water intrusion into the rear 'racetrack' tail light assembly is a prevalent issue, leading to LED failure and potential short circuits. This affects visibility and can be a safety concern. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.

Electrical System Malfunctions

A variety of electrical issues are reported, including Uconnect system glitches, dashboard flickering, vehicle stalling, and intermittent power loss. These can stem from wiring harness issues, module failures, or battery problems. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $1,500+.

Recalls have addressed ABS module malfunctions that can cause unintended brake light illumination and allow shifting out of Park without the brake pedal applied, posing a roll-away risk. Software updates and component replacement are remedies. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $1,200.
