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.

OUTBOARD REAR SEATBELTS DO NOT EXTEND OR RETRACT. SO MY KIDS CANNOT RIDE IN IT. FUEL TANK ISSUE INVOLVES EXTREMELY HIGH VAPOR BUILDUP. WHEN I TAKE THE CAP OFF TO ADD FUEL, VAPOR PRESSURE IS SO BAD THAT IT HAS BLOWN THE CAP OUT OF MY HAND WHEN REMOVING IT. CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A OEM REPLACEMENT WITH NO CHANGE IN PRESSURE. NO DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY OR DRIVEN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN EITHER CASE.
