At a glance
- Next to the 2023

- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Infotainment has 26 complaints and stalling has 21, out of 174 in all. Too few of the infotainment reports give a mileage to say when it starts.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 29 of the 174 complaints (17%) 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), 28 reports mention a crash and 21 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 9 of 28, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Infotainment, the one problem here with enough reports to check, has a recall on the same system (25V-595). 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 81, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 50 more have come in.
