Is 56 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2012 and 2026, roughly 4 a year, which is fewer 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.
How does it compare with other years? The 2012 has 56 complaints on file, fewer than the 2011 (85) and fewer than the 2013 (82). Of the 16 model years of the Chevrolet Corvette we cover, the 2017 has the most (256). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
