Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The provided year-by-year federal record contains no annual entry for 2017, with the closest recorded prior year being 2013 and the next recorded year being 2020. Across the span visible in the data, complaints peaked at 82 in 2011 before moderating to 59 by 2013, while TSBs surged to 1,315 that year and later receded to 590 by 2020, indicating elevated service activity in the early 2010s followed by a multi-year reporting gap. For 2017 specifically, the available data shows 30 steering complaints, 17 suspension complaints, 6 electrical system complaints, and 6 engine complaints, along with 3 crash-related and 1 fire-related complaint. Without federal complaint, recall, or TSB totals for 2017, it is impossible to benchmark this model year against the 59-complaint, 7-recall profile of 2013 or the 40-complaint, 7-recall profile of 2020. The heavy concentration in steering and suspension nevertheless represents significant chassis-related owner reports, though the data does not specify underlying causes. Consequently, 2017 is not a clearly favorable year to buy and should be approached only with thorough pre-purchase inspection and verified service history.
