Engine Cooling System Failure (Radiator)

Cracked radiators leading to coolant leaks and potential overheating are frequently reported around 100,000 miles. This can be caused by age, material degradation, or internal clogging. Early detection and replacement are key. Estimated repair cost: $450 - $900.

Airbag System Malfunctions

Multiple recalls address potential issues with airbag inflator modules, occupant classification sensors, and seat belt tension sensor wire harnesses. These can lead to the deactivation of critical safety systems. Owners must verify that all relevant recalls have been completed. Estimated repair cost: Covered by Recall.

Seat Belt System Issues

Recalls have been issued concerning the seat belt tension sensor wire harness, which can lead to the deactivation of airbags. Another recall addresses potential detachment of the seat belt retractor due to cracks in the access door panel. Estimated repair cost: Covered by Recall.

Complaints have mentioned tire separation from the core wire, a serious safety concern. This can be due to manufacturing defects or age-related degradation. Estimated repair cost: $800 - $1,600 (Set of 4).
