What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 59 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (240 records, model years 1995–1997) are most frequently classified under: brakes, air bags (restraint system) and steering.
- Manufacturer communications (75 records, model years 1995–1997) are most frequently classified under: powertrain (transmission & drivetrain), engine and fuel system.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
