WHEN PUTTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, KEY WON'T TURN AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START UP DUE TO A SHORTAGE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND THE DEALER CAN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
