What owners complained about, by model year
Every number counts each complaint once, under the component group NHTSA itself assigned it. The same rule runs on every model year, so the columns can be compared. The highest figure in each row is marked — that's the year the problem peaked. The posts group some of these differently and say so where they do, so a section inside a post can be larger than its row here.
