Seat Belt Malfunction

Reports indicate issues with seat belt retractors failing or not retracting properly. This can compromise occupant safety, especially during sudden stops or impacts. Estimated repair cost: $150 - $400.

A recall addressed potentially deformed fuel pump impellers, which could lead to pump failure and loss of propulsion. Early symptoms might include intermittent stalling or difficulty starting. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $800.

Some owners report excessive oil blow-by and consumption, even with a factory-installed catch can. This can indicate internal engine wear or issues with the PCV system, potentially impacting long-term engine health. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $600.
