In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
While driving on the highway, I heard a loud pop and then my car lost acceleration. When I tried to press on gas, it made a loud whining noise and struggled to get above 40-50 MPH. I took it to mechanic and they said that the turbo had a defect and wasn’t working properly. Had to replace entire turbo
-
The instrument cluster switched off after an automatic engine stop. Upon release of the brake pedal, the car did not restart and driver exit conditions did not exist. After a full power down and manual restart of the ignition, the auto stop/start function no longer works. This is a fundamental electrical problem

Randomly while driving, the speedometer and odometer units between Miles Per Hour (MPH) and Kilometers Per Hour (KM/H) will change back and forth on its own. Also, the terrain selection will change on its own rapidly or slowly. Very random on both.
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 6, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
