The most-reported problem areas from 7 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Equipment Adaptive/mobility
Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
Engine
Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.

Seat Belts
Check that every belt latches, retracts and locks under a sharp tug, and that none are frayed.
