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
- Two problems run close. Power steering loss has 11 complaints and stalling has 11, out of 143 in all. Too few of the power steering loss reports give a mileage to say when it starts.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 7 of the 143 complaints (5%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, about the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 6 reports mention a crash and 13 people were hurt. The reports record 1 death. The most crash reports, 3 of 6, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 1 recall is on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against it.

- Filings peaked in 2017 at 25 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 8. So far in 2026, 7 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.
