Moderate RiskSource: NHTSA statistical model by recall age & component type
33 months elapsed between first complaint and recall issuance — a significant delay in consumer protection.
⚠ Complaint rate is accelerating — issue may be getting worse
50% of complaints filed in Apr & Mar — may indicate temperature-sensitive or weather-related failures.
▸ Complete transmission failure — repair costs $3,000–$8,000+; vehicle may become undriveable
The blue line shows 10 total NHTSA complaints filed over 4 years, with the worst year being 2025 (5 complaints, including 1 crash report).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 77/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The red dashed line marks recall issuance — the first recall came 3 years after owners began filing complaints, a lag that indicates the manufacturer was slow to formally acknowledge these problems.
Red dots on the amber line flag 2025, a year when complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
Estimated 5-year cost of ownership: $31,584 (~$526/mo). Repair risk buffer is standard due to vehicle risk profile.
20% estimated recall probability — some indicators present but not alarming.
