How to read this

  • A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
  • Complaint totals are not normalised by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
  • Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
