Inspect the electrical
What to look for: Dim or flickering dash lights at idle, slow window operation, intermittent infotainment glitches, parasitic battery drain (dead battery after a few days parked). (23 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $850 )
On the test drive: Cycle through every electronic accessory during the drive — heated seats, defrosters, climate fan on max, cruise control. Glitches show up under load.
What to look for: Paint mismatch between panels (prior accident), rust on rocker panels and wheel wells, door alignment gaps that don't match side-to-side, weatherstrip wear. (4 owner complaints on this vehicle
· typical repair $1,500 · failures cluster ~2,100 mi)
