Read coverage & conditions01 / Owner-reported evidence
Categories attached to 194 distinct reports. A report can mention more than one component, so category totals can overlap.
These are reports made to NHTSA, not verified diagnoses. More reports can reflect more vehicles, more time on the road, or greater reporting activity.
The reporting timeline
Reports by year filed, not by the year a problem occurred. Showing the latest 10 years with reports.
18,000 miles is the median among 117 reports with usable mileage. The middle half spans 5,700–35,000 miles.
This describes the submitted reports. It does not predict when a vehicle will fail.
