Quick summary
Total: 532 cars
The 2006 Toyota Previa has an overall defect rate of 481 per 100 cars, which is 30% higher than the average for its year at 369 per 100. Notably, the model performs better than average in steering and equipment defects, with significantly lower rates in these areas. However, it has higher rates of defects in lights and electrics, wheels, suspensions, and axles, as well as body structure, indicating potential reliability issues in these categories. Mileage trends show that defect rates increase with distance, particularly for vehicles over 124,000 miles. Overall, while the Previa excels in certain aspects, it faces challenges in critical systems that could impact safety and functionality.
