Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE DRIVES CHILDREN AROUND AND DOES NOT KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,700 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.
