Power Train

Filed Aug 5, 2018500 milesWI

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

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.
