Raw totals and, when NHTSA production exposure is available, complaints per 100,000 produced. A zero means no owner reports in the current NHTSA data, not that the car is problem-free. Open a year to see what the evidence supports. Complaints build up over a car's life. Newer model years often look quieter because they have spent less time on the road. We mark them "still new" instead of treating them as better years.
