How this compares
125 complaints is 2.2 times fewer than the median 2015 model on this site and 2.1 times fewer than the median 2015 sedan. Among the 2 Q50 model years here it ranks 1st 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
18 complaints came in 2024. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
