Is 21 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2026, roughly 6 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
