Failure mileage by system
Half of owners who gave a mileage reported the problem between 8,000 and 35,000 miles. Median 34,500, from 5 complaints with a mileage.
Mileage owners typed into their NHTSA complaint, all complaints for this model year. People report some problems late, so read it as a range.
