Is 12 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2010 and 2018, 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 2010 has 12 complaints on file, more than the 2012 (11). That is the most of the 3 model years of the Keystone Montana we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
