Complaints are not confined to a single system. They cluster most around electrical, “unknown or other,” and forward collision avoidance concerns, with additional activity in service brakes and the powertrain.

As the final year of its generation, the record reflects a mature design with a mixed but manageable complaint pattern.
Overall risk level: moderate-to-low for the segment.
