The information on this page is for general educational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. It is compiled from aggregated owner-reported data and publicly available sources, not from an inspection of your vehicle. Symptoms described here can have multiple causes, and the presence of a commonly reported problem does not mean your vehicle has it. Repair cost ranges are estimates that vary by region, shop, vehicle condition, and parts availability. Recall and service campaign information may be incomplete or out of date — verify current recall status with NHTSA or your manufacturer.

Always consult a qualified technician before making repair decisions.
The most serious problem on this generation is a brake fluid leak into the ABS control module that disables ABS, stability control, and braking — the module has also been cited as an electrical fire source. This is recall-covered, but complaints describing parts-availability delays suggest completing the repair hasn't always been straightforward. If you're waiting on this recall repair, don't assume the issue is resolved until parts are actually replaced.
