-
Where complaints cluster
Complaints concentrate on the electrical system: 35% of the 1,036 on file. The top components are electrical system (360, of which 1 mentions a crash), visibility/wiper (284) and visibility (63). Across all 1,036 reports, 24 describe a crash, 2 a fire and 12 at least one injury.
-
Recent reports
24 complaints (2% of the total) were filed in the last 12 months, a slow but steady flow of new reports, most often about the electrical system (7).
-
Changes from 2018
EPA lists the same engines, transmissions and drive types as 2018; four recall campaigns name one of the two years and not the other (electrical system, fuel system, structure and others).
-
Fuel economy and running cost
Its most efficient version (2.5-litre 4-cylinder) is rated 28 mpg combined, better than most for the 2019 SUVs we cover (median 25 mpg across 53 other EPA listings); the thirstiest version is rated 22 mpg. At 15,000 miles a year and the national average regular gasoline price of $4.28 (EIA, week of Oct 19, 2026), fuel would cost about $2,290 a year in the most efficient version and about $2,920 in the thirstiest.
