At what mileage does the equipment typically fail?
Based on the 4 complaints filed, equipment issues most often appear around 50,000 miles. Some report problems earlier; some make it well past 150,000 with no symptoms. Maintenance habits matter — vehicles that received timely fluid services and were not regularly overworked tend to last longer.
