Electrical System - Battery Drain / No-Start

Frequent reports of batteries draining quickly, leading to a no-start condition. This can be caused by parasitic draws or issues with the battery itself. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $300.

A significant recall (21V587000) addresses low-pressure fuel pump failures. This can lead to stalling and loss of power. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $600.

While not as prevalent as engine or electrical issues, turbocharger problems can occur, leading to loss of boost and performance. Estimated repair cost: $1,200 - $1,800.
