Is 201 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2026, roughly 16 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.

How does it compare with other years? The 2014 has 201 complaints on file, fewer than the 2013 (266) and fewer than the 2015 (226). Of the 17 model years of the Hyundai Tucson we cover, the 2016 has the most (1,617). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
