Is 72 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2017 and 2026, roughly 8 a year, which is about the same as 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 2017 has 72 complaints on file, more than the 2019 (19). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
