In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service

Battery died twice on 2 separate occasions since the day car was received on 1/17. Car was âservicedâ after the first time battery died, but this morning I could not get it to turn on again. This car has been giving me nothing but issues and I havenât had it for a month yet.

Electrical system mileage not reported 7 mo in service

While driving, the power steering control locked up making the vehicle difficult to steer. Immediately after, all warning lights turned on including the check engine light, ABS, and others.

Electrical system mileage not reported 1.2 yr in service

4,805 miles, vehicle was completely dead. Got it jumped and now the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. All sensors need serviced.

Service brakes mileage not reported 1.1 yr in service

The Brake and Gas pedals are too close together. My foot keeps on hitting both pedals

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
