Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Complaint counts rose sharply from 29 in 2011 to a peak of 118 in 2012, then fell steadily to 18 by 2016, while recalls peaked at 7 in 2014 and 6 in 2015 before dropping to one in 2016; investigations were recorded only in 2014 and 2015 (two each). The 2022 model year does not appear in the year‑by‑year federal record after 2016, so no recall or investigation data are available for it, but the complaints filed for 2022 total five (two “Unknown/Other”, one “Structure”, one “Tires”, one “Power Train”), with one crash complaint and no fire complaints. This complaint tally is markedly lower than the peak years of the generation and follows the downward trend observed by 2016, suggesting that reported issues may have declined. Because the federal record does not list any recalls for 2022, buyers cannot confirm whether outstanding recall matters affect this model year. While the limited complaint data points to relatively few reported problems, the absence of recall information makes it difficult to deem 2022 a definitively safe purchase; prospective buyers should verify the vehicle’s recall status and conduct a thorough inspection before committing.
