Second most reported: 20 reports (17%), tied to 1 crash. Reports center on the backup camera failing, so check the rear camera in reverse before buying.
Electrical System0 12%
14 reports (12%), and the only area with injuries here (3). No crashes or fires reported, but the injury count makes it worth a close look.
Engine0 9%
10 reports (9%), with no crashes, fires, or injuries. Owners mention knocking noises, so listen for unusual sounds from the engine.

The fewest of the top areas: 7 reports (6%), tied to 1 crash. Reports describe sensor errors disabling driver-assist features, so confirm those systems work.
