How this compares
216 complaints is 1.2 times fewer than the median 2017 model on this site and 2.1 times fewer than the median 2017 pickup. Among the 7 Colorado model years here it ranks 3rd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Complaints filed by year
38 complaints came in 2019, 1.9 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
