Complaints include shuddering under braking, impacting stopping ability. This can stem from warped rotors or issues with brake pads and calipers. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $1,200.

Wheel and Suspension Concerns

Reports of warped wheels and suspension impacts suggest potential issues with wheel bearings, control arms, or shock absorbers. These can affect ride quality and handling. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,000.

Forward Collision Avoidance (ADAS) Sensitivity

The City Safety system can sometimes engage abruptly, particularly in adverse weather like heavy rain. This highlights potential oversensitivity or calibration issues with ADAS sensors. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $500.

A recall addressed potential fuel pump fuse issues leading to pump failure. While a simple fuse fix was part of the remedy, underlying pump degradation could still be a concern. Estimated repair cost: $400 - $800.
