Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 model year represents a dramatic reduction in federal regulatory visibility compared to the generation’s peak in 2000, which recorded 5 complaints and 6 recalls, and the immediately preceding 2003 model year, which carried 2 complaints and 21 TSBs. Sandwiched between the elevated early-generation activity (1999–2003) and the renewed uptick beginning in 2011, 2007 initiates a three-year span (2007–2009) of minimal federal filings characterized by zero annual complaints and single recalls per year, though model-year-specific data reveals concerning concentrations of 40 crash complaints and 13 fire complaints alongside significant reported issues in Engine (72), Tires (45), Power Train (39), and Vehicle Speed Control (35). While the federal record indicates a temporary lull in formal complaint filings during this mid-generation period, the high volume of crash and fire incidents suggests severe failure modes that the provided data does not specify root causes for. This divergence between low federal filing counts and high-severity complaint categories necessitates rigorous pre-purchase verification of maintenance records and component condition, making 2007 a viable candidate only for buyers prepared to conduct thorough mechanical vetting rather than a straightforward low-risk acquisition.
