Model-year reading

What the 2025 record can and cannot say

The 2025 record contains 51 submitted complaints, 18 above the median year in this model file. Report volume is not a failure probability because vehicle age and sales exposure differ.

Unknown Or Other leads the displayed component tags with 13 reports, accounting for 25.5% of this year's submitted complaints. Use that signal to inspect coverage wording, not to predict the next repair.

EV traction battery replacement has a midpoint parts estimate of $13,000, before local labor. A service contract only changes that exposure when the part and cause of failure both qualify.
