Electrical System Failures

Undiagnosed electrical issues can cause warning lights to activate while parked and systems to become unresponsive. These can range from minor glitches to significant hazards. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1500.

While the primary recall addresses inflator explosion risk, there's a complaint noting airbag non-deployment in a crash, suggesting potential broader system vulnerabilities. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $2000 (for recall remedy and potential related repairs).

Radio and Headliner Issues

Some owners report defective radio systems and headliner issues occurring relatively early in the vehicle's life. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $800.
