Air Bag Emblem Detachment

A critical safety recall (23V067000) addresses the potential for the resin emblem on the driver's air bag cover to crack and detach during deployment. This poses a significant safety hazard. Estimated repair cost: $0 (Recall).

Over time, radiator hoses and seals can degrade, leading to coolant leaks. This can cause overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $800.

While not a widespread complaint, the 5-speed automatic transmission can experience issues like slipping or delayed engagement, particularly at higher mileage. Regular fluid changes are critical. Estimated repair cost: $1,500 - $4,000.
