Built from official NHTSA complaint and recall data · data through 07/13/2026
Source: U.S. NHTSA complaint & recall data. Complaints are unverified reports from vehicle owners — a complaint is not a confirmed defect.
The most-reported problem — Engine And Engine Cooling:engine (7.2% of complaints) — was examined in a now-closed NHTSA investigation that did not result in a recall.
3 of the 6 most-reported categories on this page are backed by a recall or open investigation; the other 3 rest on owner reports alone.
| Complaint category | Reports | Official status | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine And Engine Cooling:engine | 198 · 7.2% | Investigation closed | DP05005 |
| Tires | 168 · 6.1% | Recalled | Recall 01X001000 |
| Structure:body:door | 164 · 5.9% | No official action | — |
| Fuel System, Gasoline | 155 · 5.6% | Recalled | Recall 11V385000 · Recall 00V231000 |
| Tires:tread/belt | 137 · 5% | Recalled | Recall 01X001000 |
| Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:gasoline | 136 · 4.9% | Investigation closed | DP05005 |
Recalled = an NHTSA safety recall covers this category, so a free repair exists. Under investigation = NHTSA has an open probe but no recall yet. Investigation closed = NHTSA examined it and closed the probe — this is not a defect finding; where a closed probe led to a recall we name the campaign. Not available = recall or investigation data could not be confirmed for this vehicle — it is not a “no”. Categories are matched by NHTSA's top-level component. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Percentages are the share of the 2,758 complaints citing each component; one complaint can cite several components. “Unspecified / other” is NHTSA’s own catch-all category — we show it rather than hide it.
