Internal water pump failure (3.5L & 3.7L engines) — Coolant leaks into the engine oil, leading to catastrophic engine damage if not addressed. A very expensive repair requiring engine removal. Frequency: very frequent (for 2010-2019 models).

Cooling system failures — Radiator explosions, rotting hoses, and thermostat issues, particularly in older high-mileage examples. Frequency: recurrent.
