Data-based buyer guidance

Research carefully

Review the underlying reports, recall status, and service history before making a vehicle-specific decision.

Dataset signal

This model year has 148 processed complaint reports; OTHER / UNSPECIFIED is the most frequently classified system at 21.6% of reports.

Model-year context

Available adjacent years span 148–755 reports. It has fewer reports than 2016 and 2018.

Before you buy
  1. Check open recalls using the vehicle identification number (VIN).
  2. Review the linked NHTSA reports for symptoms that match the vehicle you are considering.
  3. Ask for maintenance records and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection.

This is a statistical research aid, not a mechanical diagnosis, failure prediction, or recommendation to buy or avoid a vehicle.
