Processing

Complaints are counted per component. One complaint can list several, so component totals add up to more than the total.
Fuel cost = miles per year ÷ EPA combined mpg × EIA weekly price for your region.

Limitations

Complaint counts are owner reports, not verified findings or failure rates. There is no sales denominator.
Recall campaigns are listed for the model year. Only NHTSA and the automaker know whether a specific car was repaired.
Recent model years are still collecting reports.
