Start my diagnosis →Corroded or dulled reflective coating inside the housing
Check engine light: Off
Low-beam headlights progressively dim over time, tied to a corroded or dulled reflective coating inside the light housing — the single dominant complaint category in the sample (roughly 59% of complaints), described by many owners as "a known manufacturing defect."
The replacement part from the first recall may itself explode
Check engine light: On
The driver-side frontal airbag inflator is covered by TWO separate recall campaigns: 16V061000 (the well-established Takata dual-stage inflator moisture-intrusion defect) and 19V182000, which covers DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT inflators installed during earlier Takata recall repairs.
Steering wheel becomes unresponsive mid-drive
Check engine light: On
Electronic power steering failures cause the steering wheel to become unresponsive mid-drive.
One owner replaced clunking rear shocks 5 times
Check engine light: Off
Premature shock absorber failures occur at low mileage, with one owner reporting replacing clunking rear shocks 5 times.
Sudden shattering with no impact
Check engine light: Off
Moonroof glass spontaneously shatters.
Rollaway risk — recall 13V143000
Check engine light: Off
The automatic transmission's brake-shift interlock can be disabled in sub-freezing temperatures, allowing gear selection from Park without braking — a rollaway risk, covered by recall 13V143000.
Recalls 16V061000 and 19V182000 both affect the driver-side airbag on this generation — the second recall covers defective replacement parts from the first. Enter your VIN to get the confirmed, current recall picture for your specific car.

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.

Low-beam headlights progressively dim over time, tied to a corroded or dulled reflective coating — the single dominant complaint category in the sample at roughly 59% of complaints, described by many owners as "a known manufacturing defect." Separately, this generation is notable for a recall in which the REPLACEMENT airbag inflators installed during an earlier Takata recall repair may themselves need to be recalled.
