At a glance
- Next to the 2022 and 2024
- Complaints ease off across these three model years. Counted per year on the road, the 2022 draws 123, the 2023 50 and the 2024 25.
- Top problem
- Stalling leads with 51 of the 201 complaints (25%), ahead of infotainment at 39. A quarter of the 12 owners who gave a mileage for stalling saw it by about 7,000 miles, and half by about 16,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 11 of the 201 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), 10 reports mention a crash, 1 mentions a fire and 4 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 4 of 10, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Brake wear has a recall on the same system (24V-653). Stalling and infotainment have 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
- Complaints are still climbing. 2025 brought 60, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 69 more have come in.

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.
