All complaint and recall figures come from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the U.S. government's vehicle-safety agency. Complaints are unverified reports submitted by owners; a complaint is not a confirmed defect.
Which vehicles are listed here?
This index covers the model-years with the highest complaint volumes in NHTSA's file (complaints received since January 1, 1995) and expands over time.
