Is 34 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2018 and 2025, roughly 5 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 2019 has 34 complaints on file, fewer than the 2018 (222). Of the 9 model years of the Chevrolet Volt we cover, the 2017 has the most (697). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
