Is 12 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2015 and 2022, roughly 2 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 2015 has 12 complaints on file, fewer than the 2014 (55). Of the 4 model years of the Ford Focus Electric we cover, the 2013 has the most (69). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
