General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Oct | 2008 | 34000 | 0 | Lifter noise from the inner bank (firewall). Tried the no-belt and run fix (to determine if it is a water-pump) but problem still persisted. Dealer made an oil-change and gave the car back until the parts arrive! |

Raplaced and I know now how much gas I have left in the truck. |
| Jan | 2012 | 98500 | 240 | Right ball joint went, so I changed right and left as a precaution. |

Service rep claimed that if the computer analysis does not disclose a problem, there isn't a problem, indicating that no condition that might be responsible for the problem was investigated if Passenger Air Bag Off light displays intermittently with 110 lb adult passenger. Service rep claims that air bag is not designed to inflate for persons under 125 lb. Service rep's claim is incorrect and ridiculous. |
