Consumer Complaints

NHTSA Complaint US

45 complaint records in the dataset for this vehicle and year.

Outcomes stated in those reports

  • reports mentioning a crash 7
  • reports mentioning a fire 1
  • reported injuries 5

  • Exhaust & emissions control7 (11.9%)
  • Air bags (restraint system)6 (10.2%)
  • Electrical system4 (6.8%)

A single report can name several systems, so these figures overlap and must not be added together — their sum is larger than the report total above.

A further 151 complaint records exist for this vehicle where the source stated no model year. They are not counted above and appear on no year page.

These are owner-submitted allegations, not confirmed defects. Counts are record counts in the dataset. No exposure denominator exists, so no failure rate or reliability score can be derived from them.
