Airbag System Malfunction

The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may fail to correctly identify passenger presence or classification, potentially leading to the front passenger frontal airbag deactivating. This is addressed by recall 16V244000, involving reprogramming the Air Bag Control Unit and potentially replacing the OCS Electronic Control Unit. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,000.

Electrical System Glitches

The high TSB count suggests potential for various electrical system issues, from infotainment glitches to sensor malfunctions. These can be intermittent and frustrating, often requiring diagnostic scans to pinpoint. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $800.
