Is 50 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2023, 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 2013 has 50 complaints on file, more than the 2014 (30). That is the most of the 5 model years of the Ford C-Max Energi we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
