Worried about potential repair costs? An extended warranty can provide peace of mind.
Chart based on 28 repair trips. The repair cost chart excludes repairs made under warranty, do-it-yourself repairs, and repair trips that include maintenance.
Battery was replaced due to wires becoming loose from the leads, creating an arc and ruining the battery. This isn't a real problem, but the fact that there is a large charge to replace the battery due to resetting the computer is mind boggling. $180 battery, but there is a $150 fee to install and reset the computer. Granted I could have bought a battery at the local Autozone to be installed, but the arcing locked up the computer system, which only the dealer can correct at..........$150. So no matter how I needed to change the battery, it was still going to cost me over $300 to replace.

Head lamp on passenger side was no longer working. I watched a YouTube video about how to replace it. It was difficult to get the inside wheel well cover off in order to access the bulb, but once the cover was off, it was easy to change the bulb. (It was difficult to put the wheel well cover back on, as well.) Replaced the old bulb with a new bulb - I don't remember the brand.
The heater fan that blew inside my car started making a terrible loud noise while running. The sound was on the passenger side of my car. Whatever it "exactly" was, was replaced under warrantee by the dealership.
