Read coverage & conditions01 / Owner-reported evidence
Categories attached to 110 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 8 years with reports.
49,000 miles is the median among 15 reports with usable mileage. The middle half spans 13,794–87,000 miles.
