The most-reported problem areas from 13 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Service Brakes
Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.
Electrical System
Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.
Fuel/propulsion System
Check for fuel or battery warnings, hard starts and stalling. On a hybrid/EV, confirm charging and range behave normally.

Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.
Latches/locks/linkages
Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
Hydraulic
