Engine Stalling and Performance Loss

Recurring issues with the cooling system, particularly plastic crossover pipes and water pumps, lead to coolant leaks. This can cause overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.

Multiple recalls address issues with air bag inflator modules, specifically Takata components. While repairs are typically covered under recall, owners must ensure their vehicle has been serviced. Estimated repair cost: $0 (Recall).

Dashboard Delamination
