When owners filed reports about this model year
Not enough dated records to plot a meaningful trend — 3 months of data.
Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT AT APOXIMATELY 70K MILES...LUCKILY IT WAS AT THE END OF THE WINTER..NOW THIS WINTER THE HEAT WAS ONLY COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. NOW I HAVE NO HEAT AND IT'S 20 DEGREES. A HAT, GLOVES, AND WARM COAT IS NOT CUTTING IT. THE DEALER SHIP WANTS OVER $1000 TO FIX IT, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. MERRY CHRISTMAS... *NM
THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH THE MOTOR DROPPED OUT OF HIS VEHICLE. HE SAID IT SOUNDED AS IF HE HAD RAN OVER SOMETHING, BUT WHEN HE PULLED TO THE SIDE AND GOT OUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. HE SAID HE WALKED BACK ABOUT 10 FEET AND PICKED UP A PART, THAT LOOKED LIKE A PART OF THE ENGINE, THEN WALKED SOME MORE AND PICKED UP A PISTON RING, ALL OF THE TIME THE OIL WAS JUST RUNNING FROM THE MOTOR. THE CONSUMER BENT DOWN AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A WHOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. *JB
