Model-year records

What the 2023 record can and cannot say

The 2023 record contains 192 complaints. That is about 68 reports above the median complaint count in these records. The comparison shows how this year's count fits within our records, but it cannot establish a defect rate.

Unknown Or Other appears most often among the shown tags, with 90 reports and a 46.9% share. One complaint may name several components. This percentage describes the submitted complaints, not the probability of a failure.

EV traction battery replacement has the highest midpoint parts estimate in the applicable list, at $13,000. Check existing factory coverage and contract exclusions before counting that amount as a saving from a new plan.

Sources and methods

What each source tells you

NHTSA records: 192 submitted complaints, 17 recalls and 74 manufacturer communications. These are report counts, not failure probabilities.

EPA vehicle details: 3 matched fuel-economy configurations help us leave out repairs for equipment this model year does not have.

Repair-cost estimates: We model 18 applicable repairs beyond normal wear items, using published benchmarks where available plus parts and independent-shop labor assumptions. These ranges are not dealer quotes, repair-shop quotes or invoices.

FixCatalogue links to symptom descriptions, documented conditions and the original recall or manufacturer sources. Read those details when researching a problem; a complaint count alone cannot tell you which part to replace or whether a contract will pay.

Check coverage for the current problem first

Get the current problem diagnosed and check factory coverage or recall remedies first. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions. Set those costs aside when comparing coverage for future eligible failures.
