Is 165 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2015 and 2026, roughly 14 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 2015 has 165 complaints on file, fewer than the 2014 (207) and more than the 2016 (154). Of the 15 model years of the Toyota Prius we cover, the 2010 has the most (2,822). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
