Reliability History
Reliability History
The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.

How it looks inside and out
"Water leaks occurred when the drain holes next to the moon roof clogged. No where that I could find in the owners manual did it mention it. Luckily my body repair company knwe about and used high pressue air to clean them out. When this drain system clogged water leaked in the cabin roof area."
