Car problems and recalls by model-year

113 models from 23 makes with at least one model year of 500 or more owner complaints to NHTSA since 2005. Each page compares the years, breaks each year with 100+ complaints down by component and mileage, and lists the recall campaigns: a campaign shared by sibling models is set out in full on one of their pages and linked from the others.

A car that is not listed has fewer complaints on file, not necessarily fewer problems: the recall check covers every model year NHTSA knows, with or without a VIN. Makes: Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Honda, Toyota, Dodge, Nissan, Hyundai, Chrysler, KIA, RAM, Subaru, Tesla, Volkswagen, Pontiac, GMC, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mercury, Fisker, Lexus, Buick.
