At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- One problem takes up much of the file: airbag, named in 68 of the 177 complaints (38%). A quarter of the 30 owners who gave a mileage for airbag saw it by about 30,000 miles, and half by about 53,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 20 of the 177 complaints (11%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 15 reports mention a crash, 2 mention a fire and 18 people were hurt. The reports record 1 death. The most crash reports, 11 of 15, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Seat belt has a recall on the same system (16V-668). Airbag has none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2017 at 46 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 2. So far in 2026, 1 more has come in. Filings on record start in 2015.
