Model-year reading

What the 2016 record can and cannot say

The 2016 record contains 445 submitted complaints, 323 above the median year in this model file. Report volume is not a failure probability because vehicle age and sales exposure differ.

Suspension leads the displayed component tags with 148 reports, accounting for 33.3% 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.
