Start my diagnosis →Especially in cold weather, obscuring the fuel gauge and odometer
Check engine light: On
The single most common complaint category for this vehicle (89 of 282 complaints): dashboard displays go blank, show 'gibberish,' or flicker, especially in cold weather, obscuring the fuel gauge and odometer.
Metal shavings in the fluid, loss of acceleration
Check engine light: On

Rattling/grinding on cold starts; a TSB warns of catastrophic engine failure risk
Check engine light: On
Variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator defects cause engine rattling/grinding on cold starts (TSB 16-088); one owner states the issue 'could lead to catastrophic engine failure,' but the roughly $2,100 repair is out-of-warranty.

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.

Instrument cluster failures — dashboard displays going blank, showing 'gibberish,' or flickering, especially in cold weather — are this generation's largest single complaint category (89 of 282 complaints). Two separate acknowledged-defect-no-recall candidates are present on this single nameplate: a VTC actuator defect that TSB 16-088 addresses without covering the ~$2,100 repair, and a keyless Start/Stop button malfunction (TSB 20-098) leaving owners stranded.
