What it says about you

Opinion

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

9 model years on record, 2,193 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2018 (oil), 2017 (oil), 2016 (fan), 2015 (fan). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
