Against its own model years

The model year carries far more information than the badge, so this is the comparison that matters.

What owners describe

No phrase appears often enough in these complaints to describe them reliably.

When it breaks

28% of reported failures happened before 30,000 miles (median 54,812 miles, from 40 complaints that recorded one).

Failures arrive late and spread out, which looks like wear. Service history matters more than model year here.

What NHTSA did

4 investigations covering this model year, 0 of which list a recall campaign. Owners had filed 14 complaints about this component over roughly 23 months before an investigation opened.

Loss of Brake Power Assist

Not built yet. This panel is meant to carry community sentiment beside the filed-complaint data, so the two can be compared. Showing something weaker here would defeat its purpose.

Limits of this figure. It counts safety complaints filed with the federal government, which is a floor on failures and not a census: problems that only cost money are under-reported. Complaint rates also reflect how likely a brand’s owners are to file, which cannot be separated from how often the car fails. Sales are calendar-year and the denominator for this nameplate is automated checks only, not verified against an external source.
