Airbag System Malfunction

Recalls addressed potential issues with passenger airbag door detachment and pinched wires for the driver's frontal airbag. While recalls are addressed, latent issues or subsequent failures are possible. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $2000+.

The large displacement V10 engine can be prone to oil leaks from seals and gaskets over time, especially with age and mileage. Early detection is key to preventing further damage. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.

As a high-performance manual transmission vehicle, the clutch is subject to significant wear, particularly with aggressive driving. Early signs of wear should be addressed to prevent catastrophic failure. Estimated repair cost: $1000 - $2500.
