Owners filed 359 complaints with NHTSA. The fuel/propulsion system is the most reported area at 35%, followed closely by the engine at 30% and the power train at 17%. No deaths are reported. Forward collision avoidance draws the fewest complaints (8%) but is tied to the most crashes (8) and injuries (4) of any area, so the automatic braking is worth a close look on a test drive.
