Consumer Complaints

NHTSA Complaint US

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

Outcomes stated in those reports

  • reports mentioning a crash 1
  • reports mentioning a fire 1

Outcomes as stated by the person who filed the report. They are not verified, not adjudicated, and carry no exposure denominator, so they cannot be turned into a rate.
