Things to consider when insuring one
Fire-risk recall: park it outside until it’s fixed
NHTSA advises parking affected cars outside and away from buildings. A fire in an attached garage can become a home insurance claim as well as an auto one, so get the repair done first.
Owners reported 7 fires to NHTSA
Not every complaint is confirmed, but several fire reports are worth asking a mechanic about, and worth checking against open recalls.
28% rollover risk in a single-vehicle crash
Higher than most cars, typical of tall vehicles. Rollovers are among the most serious crashes.
Driver-assist sensors come standard
They can help avoid crashes, but a windshield or bumper repair often needs the cameras and radar recalibrated, which costs more. Check what your comprehensive and collision deductibles would mean for a glass claim.
14 recalls for this model year
More than most. When you buy one, make sure every campaign has been completed.
Most owner complaints are about the electrical system
198 of 373 complaints to NHTSA mention it. Worth a look in a pre-purchase inspection.
