Failure mileage by component
Median and middle 50% of usable owner-reported mileages. Ranges require at least five records.

WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE WATER TANK FELL OFF THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER; THEREFORE, HE HAD TO JACK THE VEHICLE UP VERY HIGH IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE WATER TANK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE MOST LIKELY OCCURRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS 14 YEARS OLD. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000. |

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2001: 3 complaints · 2002: 3 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2001 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 2002 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2001 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 2002 | 6 | 1 | 1 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
