When it starts to break
| Age at failure | Complaints | Running total | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 100% | covered |
Basic warranty on this car is 4 years / 50,000 miles. Only 100% of reported failures happen inside it — the remaining 0% come out of the owner's pocket. Powertrain cover (4 years / 50,000 miles) reaches further, but it only covers the engine and transmission, which account for few of the complaints here.
What actually fails — and at what age
