How this compares
133 complaints is 1.8 times fewer than the median 2019 model on this site and 2.1 times fewer than the median 2019 SUV. Among the 5 Trax model years here it ranks 2nd 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
33 complaints came in 2019, 33.0 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.
