Owner complaints
A complaint is one person's report to a federal agency. It is not a finding.
The 2001 model has about half as many complaints as this one. The 2003 model has 2 times as many complaints as this one. These figures reflect raw complaint counts, not failure rates. Higher-selling model years naturally receive more complaints.
