The pattern repeats across model years, which usually points to a shared component supplier rather than a single bad production batch. 15 fire reports on the federal record — not common in this category but documented and worth weight. Independent-shop repair on this category runs around $850; dealer pricing tends to run thirty to forty percent higher on European brands. Read the specific complaints before assuming the worst — the category covers everything from a forty-dollar switch to a twenty-five-hundred-dollar module.
